Fig. 1013. The mouth cavity

The apex of the tongue is turned upward, and on the right side a superficial dissection of its under surface has been made.

The tongue inferior surface (facies inferior linguæ under surface) (Fig. 1013) is connected with the mandible by the Genioglossi; the mucous membrane is reflected from it to the lingual surface of the gum and on to the floor of the mouth, where, in the middle line, it is elevated into a distinct vertical fold, the frenulum linguæ. On either side lateral to the frenulum is a slight fold of the mucous membrane, the plica fimbriata, the free edge of which occasionally exhibits a series of fringe-like processes.

The apex of the tongue, part of the inferior surface, the sides, and dorsum are free.
