Divided into two sections:palatine and pharyngeal surfaces

Divided by a shallow v-shaped groove called the sulcus terminalis

Lies just deep to the mucous membrane of the dorsum of the tongue
Origin: from submucous fibrous tissue close to the root of the tongue
Insertion: anterior edges of the tongue
Function: shortens the tongue or it may turn the top and lateral margins upward
-muscle runs just along surface of tongue
-incorrect use causes lisp
Intrinsic
I

41
Q

Inferior longitudinal muscle of the tongue

A

Located on the under surface of the tongue
Origin: root of the tongue
Insertion: apex of the tongue
Function: either shortens the tongue or it may pull the tip downward
Intrinsic

42
Q

Transverse muscle of the tongue

A

Origin: from the median fibrous septum (midline)

Intrinsic

44
Q

Extrinsic muscles of the tongue

A

Genioglossus
Styloglossis
Palatoglossus
Hyoglossus

45
Q

Genioglossus muscle of tongue

A

Forms the bulk of tongue tissue
Origin: mental tubercle on the posterior surface of the mandibular symphysis
Insertion: the lower fibers go to the hyoid bone while the remainder radiate fan-like into the submucous tissue from the root to the tip on either side of mid-line
Function: the posterior fibers draw the whole of tongue anteriorly to protrude the tip from the mouth and contraction of the anterior fibers retracts the tongue
Extrinsic

46
Q

Styloglossus

A

Origin: from the anterior surface of the styloid process
Insertion: some fibers enters the side of the tongue and enter into the inferior longitudinal muscle while the remainder overlap and blend with the hyoglossus
