This week's Tuesday Trivia answer is.....
The tongue! The human tongue is a highly flexible, muscular organ (roughly 3-4 inches long) located in the oral cavity, essential for tasting, swallowing, breathing, and speech. It is anchored to the hyoid bone in the neck and is the only muscular structure in the body that functions without skeletal support. Another fun fact: Tongue prints are unique to each individual, just like fingerprints!
Its not often we think about just how important the tongue is. Eating and talking are such natural activities to us, its easy to take for granted what makes them possible! Check out these interesting facts about your amazing tongue!
