ANS: D
Posteriorly on the dorsal surface of the tongue is an inverted V-shaped groove, the sulcus
terminalis; it separates the base from the body of the tongue, demarcating a line of fusion of
tissue during the tongue’s development. A ridge of tissue on each side of the floor of the
ed d
mouth, the sublingual fold, joins in a V-shaped configuration extending from the lingual
ar stu
frenum to the base of the tongue; it contains openings of the sublingual duct from the
sublingual salivary gland. Even farther posteriorly on the dorsal surface of the base of the
tongue is an irregular mass of tissue, the lingual tonsil. Lateral to each deep lingual vein on the
sh is
ventral surface of the tongue is the plica fimbriata (plural, plicae fimbriatae) with fringelike
projections.
