The Tongue. The tongue is a muscular organ in the mouth with several functions. It is attached to the bottom of the mouth by a membrane on its underside called the lingual frenum. The top surface of the tongue contains papillae, the tiny nodules or bumps that include the taste buds. One of the functions of the tongue is taste, but it also facilitates chewing, digesting, swallowing and speaking.
The tongue is anchored to the mouth by webs of tough tissue and mucosa. The tether holding down the front of the tongue is called the frenum. In the back of the mouth, the tongue is anchored into the hyoid bone. The tongue is vital for chewing and swallowing food, as well as for speech. The four common tastes are sweet, sour, bitter, and salty. A fifth taste, called umami, results from tasting glutamate (present in MSG).
