What role does your tongue play in this process?
Correct Answer
The tongue helps in feeling the surface and texture of food inside the mouth. It helps mix food with saliva, moves food around for chewing, and enables us to taste different flavours. The tongue also helps push food towards the teeth for proper chewing and guides food towards the throat for swallowing.
