Tongue Blind Hole

The foramen cecum (or cecum fossa) of the tongue is a small depression at the back of the tongue. It has the shape of a crescent and is located at the junction between the sublingual and lingual parts. The blind foramen is an important anatomical element, since nerve endings and blood vessels pass through it, which provide nutrition and sensitivity to the tongue.

A foramen cecum usually does not cause discomfort or pain, however some people may experience discomfort or pain in the area of ​​the foramen cecum under certain conditions. For example, if the foramen is inflamed or if there is an infection in this area.

In some cases, the foramen cecum may be injured or damaged as a result of surgery or other medical procedures. This can lead to various complications such as tongue desensitization, swelling and inflammation.

To prevent injuries and damage to the blind opening of the tongue, you need to monitor your health and consult a doctor if you have any symptoms associated with this organ. It is also necessary to maintain oral hygiene and regularly visit the dentist for preventive examinations.

__The foramen cecum__ is a small opening that is located between the anterior and posterior lingual muscles. It serves to release saliva and cleanse the tongue of bacteria.

However, contrary to popular belief, the __blind foramen__ is not called that due to the fact that it __is not the entrance to the nasal cavity__. Blind would mean *without entering it*. In this situation, the *hole* is also not the entrance to the nose, but the exit from the pharynx. But we cannot call it an outlet in the pharynx itself, since although it is located there, it is not directly connected to the pharynx; it is, so to speak, an “intermediate stage,” a kind of “bridge.” This place is clearly visible, for example, on the human skeleton and even in dogs. All languages ​​are similar in structure, which means the structure of the brain that divides the pharynx is also similar. Therefore, everyone has “blind holes” at least somewhat similar. They just may look a little different. Everyone has a collection of bones between the two ways food passes through the digestive canal: the mouth into the pharynx, and from there into the stomach.
