Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The papillae on the tongue help to manipulate food and contain the taste buds. The frenulum is a small fold of tissue that connects the tongue to the floor of the mouth. The uvula is a small, dangly structure at the back of the throat that helps with speech and swallowing. The palates (hard and soft) are structures in the roof of the mouth that help to form sounds and direct food down the esophagus.
