Tongue

The topic of ankyloglossia, commonly referred to as tongue tie, is of concern because of its characteristic that restricts the tongue’s natural movement which causes a number of problems, possibly including speech disorders. It raises the question of whether or not ankyloglossia does cause speech disorders, and what can be done to improve speech for those with it. There is significant debate about articulation errors with regards to if they are caused by tongue restriction in individuals with ankyloglossia. This is important because if in fact, tongue tie does cause speech disorders, it raises the question of whether or not surgical procedures are the right course of action to provide a better quality of speech for those diagnosed with this…

TONGUE CONTROL James 3:1-12 Have you ever wished that, like the cruise control on your cars, you could have a tongue control switch? I’ve often thought that if I could just cut out my tongue or tape my mouth shut my walk with the Lord would be infinitely easier. It would stop the unkind word, the undisciplined word, the stupid word, the inaccurate word, etc. from escaping my mouth and becoming reality rather than just thought. Not to mention the fact that it would also prevent the sin of…

The main muscular structure of the tongue is enclosed by an epithelial cell layer which contains small projections called papillae. Some regions of the papillae are specifically devoted to the detection of taste molecules and are called taste papillae or taste epithelium. The rest…

Logos, or logic, involves looking for arguments that make sense in a piece. Amy Tan’s essay is very logical. It makes complete sense, and is simple to understand. Being that it is a narrative, she uses examples to back up her statements about English. She tells the stories of her mother dealing with the stockbroker and the hospital as means to make her point clearer. Ethos looks at the author’s credibility. Tan is a well-known writer, and does a lot of public speaking. We can trust her…

One morning in 2013 I woke up with an unusual stomach ache and did not think much of it, later on that day I made myself a lunch. Till this day I will never have the same meal again, just thought of it gets me sick. My second experience was a little over a month when I could not say the word bowl in my French class and instead said everything that relates to a bowl instead of the actual word itself. The two topics that I have chosen to support and explain both my experiences are Sauce Bearnaise…

This is due to some issues with the tongue’s movement and control. The liquid should enter your throat all together instead of at separate times. Also, there was some residue left on the tongue, which further shows how the tongue’s movement was limited. There was a swallow delay, and some residue was left in your throat. This was caused by some issues with your throat not elevating enough to clear your throat. When we swallow, our Adam’s apple should raise in order to help assist us in…

You can see how problems during this portion of the oral preparatory phase can create problems during the next potion of the phase, mastication. Decreased or disordered cognition can further result in problems with the oral phase, which can create problems during the pharyngeal phase. Patients may not be able to hold the food in the mouth because the lips cannot be closed sufficiently to form a seal, causing anterior spillage. They may have poor mastication because of weak mandibular and tongue…

Now Imagine… The GPS on your phone, that is directing you to the restaurant is taking you down a back alley of the town. GPS showing you that in 200 feet, you have reached your destination. What would be your thoughts and feelings about going to eat at a restaurant in a back alley? About five years ago, that same situation happened to me. Myself and a…

Though Valerie was lost in her own pleasure she could feel the distinctive signs of her brother nearing his peak. Valerie could have done with out her brother wrapping his fingers around her throat, as she already felt as though he was roughing her up quite a bit, but she guessed he just wanted to try and keep her quiet, which wasn’t really fair since he continued to grunt and moan in her ear. Choking and gasping for air Valerie continued to climb up an invisible peak and continuing to soak…
