GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The tongue attaches to the floor of the mouth with a web of tissue called the lingual frenulum . Tongue-tie, or ankyloglossia, is an inborn variation in this structure. The lingual frenulum may be shortened or thickened, restricting movement of the tongue, or it may tether the tongue too close to the tip.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The lower jaw is movable and forms the floor of the mouth cavity, which consists of the tongue along with the teeth and gums surrounding them.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your tongue runs from your hyoid bone (located in the middle of your neck) to the floor of your mouth.
