Median sulcus of the tongue

The median sulcus of the tongue (sulcus medianus linguae) is a groove on the tongue that runs down the center of the tongue and divides it into two halves. This groove is one of the main structures of the tongue and plays an important role in its functioning.

The median groove begins at the base of the tongue and runs through the entire tongue. It has the shape of a crescent and is a depression on the surface of the tongue. The beard runs the entire length of the tongue and ends at the tip.

The significance of the median sulcus of the tongue is that it helps the tongue move and change its shape. When the tongue moves, it can change its shape to accommodate different sounds. For example, when pronouncing vowels, the tongue can move up and down, and when pronouncing consonants, it can move to the sides.

The median sulcus also plays an important role in swallowing. When we eat or drink, the tongue must move downward to swallow food or liquid. This movement may also be due to a change in the shape of the tongue due to the median groove.

Overall, the median lingual sulcus is an important structure of the tongue that helps it move and change. It plays a key role in making sounds and swallowing food and liquids.
