Knowledge of normal tongue anaomy an d architecture enable the clinician t odifferentiate variations of normal from abnormal conditions. Many tongue conditions are benign and. require reassurance and explanation, with little to no treatment. Others can signify systemic disorders. Examination of the tongue is an integral part of a complete physical examination.
