Question

Tongue helps us to taste, eat and swallow food.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

$\bullet$ Tongue has bumps that contain the taste buds that help us to taste food. There are around 10000 taste buds on human tongue.
$\bullet$ The tongue has small ridges that grip the food and help us move it around in our mouth so that the food can be crushed by our teeth.
$\bullet$ Once the food is crushed by the teeth, the tongue mixes it with saliva to form bolus so that it can be easily swallowed.
