Answer 1

(3) Frenulum is the mean for attachment to the palate of oral cavity.

Answer 2

Among the given question, none of the statements seem to be incorrect.

• The tongue of living organisms is made up of muscles. This organ is freely movable in the mouth.
• Papillae are defined as the little bulbed protrusions that are present on the upper surface of the muscular tongue. The tongue has a salivary gland that helps in breaking down the food and passing it down through the esophagus to the stomach.
• The taste buds are present on the papilla of the tongue. The frenulum connects the tongue to the oral cavity of the mouth.
• Thus, the Frenulum acts as an attachment between the oral cavity and the movable tongue.

Hence, none of the statements are incorrect.
