Tip of the tongue

One morning in 2013 I woke up with an unusual stomach ache and did not think much of it, later on that day I made myself a lunch. Till this day I will never have the same meal again, just thought of it gets me sick. My second experience was a little over a month when I could not say the word bowl in my French class and instead said everything that relates to a bowl instead of the actual word itself. The two topics that I have chosen to support and explain both my experiences are Sauce Bearnaise syndrome and Tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon and they will be explained below. On an ordinary Saturday morning in 2013 I had woken up with a stomach ache and did not take it serious. A couple of hours later I made myself a Lipton Cup of soup for lunch…

While it is true that the tongue contains taste buds, other taste cells are found at the…

This was caused by some issues with your throat not elevating enough to clear your throat. When we swallow, our Adam’s apple should raise in order to help assist us in…

Identifying tongue tied infants Ankyloglossia, or commonly referred to as a "tongue tie", is a condition seen in newborns when the lingual frenulum (the connecting membrane that supports the tongue) is short. The act of cutting the frenulum is called a lingual frenectomy. Two types of frenectomies exist. There are labial frenectomies (membrane is attached toward the lips) and lingual frenectomies (membrane is attached at the tongue). A labial frenectomy is performed when the frenum pulls on the…

1.2.1 The Structure of the Primary Sensory Organ, Tongue: Taste is primarily mediated by the endogenous gustatory organ, taste buds found within three of four types of papillae: fungiform, foliate, and circumvallate. The main muscular structure of the tongue is enclosed by an epithelial cell layer which contains small projections called papillae. Some regions of the papillae are specifically devoted to the detection of taste molecules and are called taste papillae or taste epithelium. The rest…

re-train Zach’s brain to override the rule that it has already created. The first goal in therapy would be to work on Zach’s listening skills. In natural phonology it is important that the child hear the difference between his errors and the correct production. A simple activity for this would be to have the child say, “kitty cat,” and then have the therapist say, “kitty cat.” This will be repeated until Zach can identify that there is a difference between what he is saying and what the…
