The tongue is a freely movable muscular organ present in the oral cavity. It aids in taste, speech, chewing and swallowing. The upper surface of the tongue has projections called papillae which bear taste buds.

The roof of the mouth is formed by the palate. The bony part of the palate is called hard palate and behind the hard palate is the soft palate.
