The lingual frenulum, also known as the frenum, connects the floor of the mouth to the tongue. Ankyloglossia occurs when the frenulum is thick and severely limits movement of the tongue. In such cases, a frenectomy may be necessary to release the tongue. There are multiple salivary glands within the mouth, especially along the mouth floor. Failure of the glands to produce saliva results in xerostomia and can be caused by medical conditions or drugs.
The tongue is a highly manipulative, muscular structure used to aid ingestion, with an attachment deep in the throat. Palates. The hard palate makes up the anterior part of the roof of the mouth. Made of bone and covered with folds of mucus membrane, the hard palate separates the oral cavity from the nasal cavities. The surface of the soft palate is a posterior continuation of the mucous membrane, but it contains no bone. Unerupted teeth. Visible here are the beginning of the pig's tusks and the unerupted teeth. Pharynx. The pharynx is the region encompassing the base of the tongue and the junction of the passageways for food (esophagus) and air (trachea). Note the epiglottis (small flap of tissue at rear of pharynx) visible in this picture.
