kids learning tube - tongue song lyrics

[chorus]
what’s that taste? well, it’s your tongue
a muscular organ in every one
i’m kind of rough with lots of bumps
i always work hard to get my job done

[verse 1]
your tongue is covered in a pink tissue called mucosa
it’s main job is to protect deeper tissue when you gnaw
the rough parts of your tongue are called the lingual papillae
they are the small bumps that store taste buds so you enjoy food all day
there are four different types pf your tongue’s papillae
they’re named filiform, foliate, fungiform and circumvallate
the frenulum is the tether of the front bottom of tongues
it holds your tongue in place so your mouth can move freely while it runs
the back of your tongue is anchored by the hyoid bone
the tongue is vital for many things i will show

[chorus]
what’s that taste? well, it’s your tongue
a muscular organ in every one
i’m kind of rough with lots of bumps
i always work hard to get my job done

[verse 2]
the muscles in your tongue are the few we will discuss
the styloglossus, hyoglossus, and genioglossus all end in glossus
then the geniohyoideus and stylohyoideus
learning these muscles of your tongue, yeah it is a must
your tongue’s main job’s to help you chew and swallow all your food
it also helps you speak all words to express your present mood
the common amount of tastes that your tongue can recognize
are the four i will tell you it may come as a surprise
sweet, sour, bitter and salty are the four
but sometimes you taste a fifth called umami, i adore
[chorus]
what’s that taste? well, it’s your tongue
a muscular organ in every one
i’m kind of rough with lots of bumps
i always work hard to get my job done

[verse 3]
when you bite into your food the chemicals from foods released
and sinks into the taste papillae to the taste buds that run deep
sensory cells transform chemicals into nerve signals
that are sent into the brain through the nerve fibers, they do go
when the signals reach your brain that information’s passed
through your cranial nerves to the brain stem really fast
your medulla oblongata takes all those signals
and sends them to the limbic and cortical systems you should know
perception and emotion are then formed for what you ate
then mix with smells and texture which creates this thing called taste

[chorus]
what’s that taste? well, it’s your tongue
a muscular organ in every one
i’m kind of rough with lots of bumps
i always work hard to get my job done
