Tongue is a muscular organ attached to the floor of the buccal cavity. It is free to move at its front end where it can move in all directions. It has importance in the digestive system.
The tongue helps in mixing up of saliva with food. It also helps in swallowing food. It has four types of taste buds which help us to know about the sweet, sour, bitter and salty tastes, associated with different types of itmes, in our food.

Tongue is a busy organ. The tongue serves as an organ of taste, with taste buds scattered over its surface. During chewing, the tongue holds the food against the teeth; in swallowing, it moves the food back into the buccal cavity, and then into the oesophagus (when the pressure of the tongue closes the opening of trachea, or windpipe).
