6.
Describe the functions of the following:
(a) oesophagus
(b) Tongue​

Answer 1

Answer:

FUNCTIONS :

   OESOPHAGUS - The function of the esophagus is to transport material             from the mouth to the stomach, and to prevent GER by providing an important barrier, that is, the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), to the retrograde flow of gastric contents into the esophagus

   TONGUE - The tongue is vital for chewing and swallowing food, as well as for speech. The four common tastes are sweet, sour, bitter, and salty. A fifth taste, called umami, results from tasting glutamate (present in MSG). The tongue has many nerves that help detect and transmit taste signals to the brain
