A

upper surface of the tongue

34
Q

A

lower surface of the tongue

35
Q

Where is the root of the tongue?

A

attached base of the tongue

36
Q

What does the sulcus terminalis divide the tongue into?

A

oral part and oropharyngeal part

37

A

C. filiform papillae

40

can trigger GAG reflex (poison)

survival mechanism

43
Q

What are the two folds that connect the tongue to the epiglottis?

A

median and lateral glossoepiglottic fold

44
Q

What is the vallecula?

A

space on either side of the median glossoepiglottic fold

45
Q

What is ankyloglossia?

A

where an infants frenulum of the tongue is shorter s-i and longer a-p, tongue is strapped to the floor causing speech to be difficult

What is the importance of the genioglossus?

A

pulls the tongue forward and prevents the tongue from falling backwards causing you to suffocate
