For December 2023, several of us are participating in the “30-Day ANATOMY Coach4aday Challenge.” My choice today is the FIMBRIATED FOLD.

During this challenge, the participants select a bone or muscle in the human body, providing details about its location and physiological significance.
How the Challenge Works
- Identify one anatomical part of the body.
- Describe what its purpose is.
- Describe where it is located.

Identify
The Fimbriated Fold of the tongue if you want a technical definition is fringe-like mucosal projection. l
Purpose
The fimbriated fold of the tongue doesn’t seem to have a clear job, and we’re not sure why it’s there; it’s just a normal variation in how tongues can look, and it doesn’t seem to have a specific purpose in the body.
Location
It is located on the ventral surface of the tongue near the lingual frenulum.
