Tongue Topography

  • Chapter
Taste

Part of the book series: Handbook of Sensory Physiology ((1730,volume 4 / 2))

Abstract

Throughout the animal kingdom the form of the tongue is never the same. Usually the variation can be ascribed to modification of a basic format in response to the animal’s peculiar mode of existence. Thus, the tongue may be primarily a gustatory organ, a masticatory organ, a grooming organ or a combination of all three.
