Description

The tongue is a muscular organ in the mouth of a typical tetrapod. It manipulates food for chewing and swallowing as part of the digestive process, and is the primary organ of taste. The tongue's upper surface (dorsum) is covered by taste buds housed in numerous lingual papillae. It is sensitive and kept moist by saliva and is richly supplied with nerves and blood vessels. The tongue also serves as a natural means of cleaning the teeth. A major function of the tongue is the enabling of speech in humans and vocalization in other animals.

इयं जिह्वा अपि शरीरस्य किञ्चित् अङ्गम् अस्ति । इयं जिह्वा मुखस्य अन्तः भवति । एषा जिह्वा आङ्ग्लभाषायां tongue इति उच्यते । एषा जिह्वा इन्द्रियेषु अन्यतमा अस्ति । एषा रसनेन्द्रियम् अस्ति । वयं जिह्वया एव आहाराणां रुचिम् आस्वादयितुं शक्नुमः ।
