Mendelian traits behave according to the model of monogenic or simple gene inheritance in which one gene corresponds to one trait. Discrete traits (as opposed to continuously varying traits such as height) with simple Mendelian inheritance patterns are relatively rare in nature, and many of the clearest examples in humans cause disorders.
It was named after Mike and John Mew, the controversial British orthodontists who created the technique as a part of a practice called "orthotropics". [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It involves placing one's tongue at the roof of the mouth and applying pressure, with the aim of changing the structure of the jaws.
Tongue strength may be tested by poking the tongue against the inside of their cheek, while an examiner feels or presses from the cheek. [6] The hypoglossal nerve carries lower motor neurons that synapse with upper motor neurons at the hypoglossal nucleus. Symptoms related to damage will depend on the position of damage in this pathway.
