Question

The tongue of frog is

• A. Short protrusible and attached at distal end
• B. Short protrusible and attached at front end
• C. Long nonprotrusible attached at front end
• D. Long protrusible attached at front end

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Long protrusible attached at front end

In the frog, a large, thick, fleshy and protrusible tongue is attached in front to the inner border of the lower jaw, and free and notched behind lies on the floor of the buccal cavity. Its upper surface bears taste buds in the form of small papillae and mucous glands of which the secretions make the tongue sticky.

So, the correct answer is 'Long protrusible attached at the front end'.
