Line down the centre of the tongue, it is surrounded by dense connective tissue

20
Q

Intrinsic Muscles in Tongue

A

muscle fibres orientated in 3 directions longitudinal, transverse and vertical- forms the proper position of the tongue

21
Q

Extrinsic tongue muscles

A

Attaches the tongue to other structures

22
Q

Intrinsic

A

Muscles lie entirely within the tongue

23
Q

3 extrinsic muscles

A

Stylo-glossus, Hyo-glossus and Genio-glossus

24
Q

how are Intrinsic muscles orientated

A

have muscle fibres orientated in 3 directions that allow it to sit in its normal (proper) position

25
Q

Stylo-glossus

A

long, thin muscle that retracts and elevates the tongue

26
Q

Hyo-glossus

A

Wide and flat muscle- retracts and depresses the tongue

27
Q

Genio-glossus

A

Fan shaped muscle, caudal and rostral fibres protrude and retract the apex

32
Q

Filiform

A

Hair-like structures and grips food

33
Q

Conical

A

Larger and less frequent, provides traction for food

34
Q

Marginal

A

Newborn carnivores and piglets, aids in suckling
