The transverse muscle of tongue (transversus linguae) is an intrinsic muscle of the tongue. [1] It consists of fibers which arise from the median fibrous septum. It passes laterally to insert into the submucous fibrous tissue at the sides of the tongue. [citation needed] It is innervated by the hypoglossal nerve (cranial nerve XII). Its ...
Fibres of the vertical muscle of the tongue are arranged in an almost vertical direction, and intersect the transversely oriented fibres of the transverse muscle of tongue. [2] Fibers of the vertical muscle of the tongue extend from the upper to the under surface of the tongue. [citation needed]
It functions to shorten and curl the tongue downward. The vertical muscle is located in the middle of the tongue, and joins the superior and inferior longitudinal muscles. It functions to flatten the tongue. The transverse muscle divides the tongue at the middle, and is attached to the mucous membranes that run along the sides. It functions to ...
Tongue rolling is the ability to roll the lateral edges of the tongue upwards into a tube. The tongue's intrinsic muscles allow some people to form their tongues into specific shapes. Rolling the tongue into a tube shape is often described as a dominant trait with simple Mendelian inheritance , and it is commonly referenced in introductory and ...

To bend the hydrostat structure, the unilateral contraction of longitudinal muscle must be accompanied by contractile activity of transverse, radial, or circular muscles to maintain a constant diameter. Bending of a muscular hydrostat can also occur by the contraction of transverse, radial, or circular muscles which decreases the diameter.

The superior longitudinal muscle of the tongue is one of the intrinsic muscles of the tongue. [1] It arises from the submucous fibrous layer close to the epiglottis and from the median fibrous septum, and runs forward to the edges of the tongue.
