Question

Which of the following separates the two parts of the tongue?

• A. Papillae
• B. Lingual septum
• C. Terminal sulcus
• D. Lingual sulcus

Answer 1

The correct option is C Terminal sulcus

• Terminal sulcus of the tongue is a V-shaped groove, with a posteriorly oriented apex, on the surface of the tongue, marking the separation between the anterior (oral or horizontal) and the posterior (pharyngeal or vertical) parts of the tongue. Hence, Terminal sulcus separates the two parts of the tongue.

So, the correct answer is 'Terminal sulcus'.
