The main mass of the tongue is called the body, and the hindmost part of the tongue that lies in the mouth is called the back. The body and back of the tongue can also be referred to jointly as the dorsum. The root of the tongue is contained in the upper part of the throat (pharynx). 5, record 1, English, - tongue%20blade
