The make-up of the tongue
A vital, highly active, sensitive organ, the
beginning and the only visible part of the digestive tract. Sometimes called
the mirror of the stomach. It can prove to be a key-factor in determining many
conditions and the
The tongue is a flexible muscular organ of the
mouth. It is meant for tasting, moisturising, licking, kissing, mastication of
food, swallowing and speech. Its muscles are attached to the lower jaw and to a
bone above the larynx.
Its rough texture produced by tiny nodules or
papillae projecting from its upper surface. Sensory nerves or taste buds
situated at the sides and the base of the tongue and the motor nerve
distributed across the muscular substance.
Ask to protrude the tongue and check for any
deviation, discomfort or tremors. Examine the dorsum of the colour and any
coating or furring. Enlarged or flabby? Note the condition of the papillae.
Any cracks, fissures or patches on the tongue?
Ask the client to elevate the tip with the mouth wide open. Camine the
undersurface of the anterior tongue. While conducting this examination it is
pertinent to study the lips,
The healthy tongue is free of any discomfort,
such as pain, stinging, burning, swelling, excrescences or numbness. It is
moist, with a rough surface, and has an evenly coloured pink surface overlaying
pale red. Inspection of
