An organ which is the most important articulator of speech is the tongue. It is a vital organ for chewing and swallowing food, as well as for speech.

Pharynx is a part of the alimentary canal. Papillae are projected structures seen on the surface of the tongue. They have taste buds and chemoreceptors on their upper surface. The cochlea contains the sensory organ of hearing.
