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 apex of the tongue rests anteriorly against the lingual surfaces of the lower incisors. The mucous membrane connecting the tongue to the mandible reflects over the floor of the mouth to the lingual surface of the gingiva and in the midline of the floor is raised into a vertical fold.The dorsum of the tongue is divided into symmetric halves by a median sulcus, which ends posteriorly in the foramen cecum.aste buds are present on the surfaces of many of the papillae, esp. the vallate papillae. Mucous and serous glands (lingual glands) are present; their ducts open on the surface. The lingual tonsils are lymphatic tissue on the base of the tongue.
