[#] 9 [Description and Function] One very strong muscle made for rolling food around your mouth so your teeth can work best. It also houses taste buds; sensors of sweet, sour, salty and bitter tastes. If it doesn't taste good, are you going to swallow it? Probably not. The tongue can also act as a drawbridge - blocking the passage of food from entering further down the digestive tract and pushing it back out the mouth. (The tongue is also important for pronunciation, but how often do you eat your words?) [Name]
