A single elevated ESR, without any symptoms of a specific disease, will usually not give enough information to make a medical decision.

Between 65 and 81 percent of people can curl their tongues, and slightly more women than men can do it, studies find. The notion that a person's ability to roll his or her tongue is determined by a single dominant gene stems from a paper published in 1940 by geneticist Alfred Sturtevant.
His tongue measured 10.1 cm or 3.97 inches from the tip to closed lips. This means the length of his tongue outside of his lips is longer than the average persons entire tongue length. Taste. Whatever size of tongue you may have, it serves an important purpose in our bodies. The tongue is primarily responsible for how we taste. The average person has around 10,000 taste buds on and around the tongue, providing the ability to detect the 5 known tastes: bitter, sour, salty, sweet and umami, which is a pleasant, savoury taste. Every 10 to 14 days, taste buds die off and are promptly replaced.
