The tongue papillae, including the taste buds, can become inflamed. A sore tongue is not always a sign of something more serious. The tongue should be included in good dental health habits. Over time, smoking can make the tongue more sensitive to heat and cold.
Tongue and Taste. The tongue is made up of muscles covered by mucous membranes. These muscles are attached to the lower jaw and to the hyoid bone, which is located just above the larynx and anchors the muscles of the tongue (it is the only bone in the body that doesn't touch any other bone).weet receptors are mostly on the tip of the tongue (noted in a child's preference to lick a candy sucker rather than chew it). Sour receptors occur primarily along the sides of the tongue and are stimulated mainly by acids.
