Question

Write the functions of tongue?​

Answer 1

Answer:

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.

Answer 2

It is involved in licking, tasting, breathing, swallowing, and speaking. The papillae present on the tongue gives it a rough texture.
