The human tongue is connected to the floor of the mouth by the frenulum. Furthermore it is attached to the hyoid bone, (a bone in the human neck) mandible (jawbone) and the temporal styloid process (bone that is placed below the ear). sometimes its connected to the uvula. The tongue is connected to both the jawbone and the skull by four sets of muscles - The genio-glossus to the lower jaw The hyo-glossus to the hyoid bone in the throat The stylo-glossus to the base of the skull The palato-glossus to the rear of the palate.

If you split your tongue can you still taste?
yes, you can still taste Your taste buds do not connect to a central core prior to sending the chemical compounds to your brain. Splitting the tongue will probably kill quite a few taste buds (not as many as smoking, but still bad). I do believe that taste buds can not heal, but the types are spread throughout your tongue. Each section of the outer area of your tongue has a majority to each taste, such as the tip of your tongue contains mostly sweet sensing tastebuds, but those taste buds are still found throughout your tongue.

What are the main parts of the human tongue?
The tongue is a muscular organ in the mouth. The tongue is covered with moist, pink tissue called mucosa. Tiny bumps called papillae give the tongue its rough texture. Thousands of taste buds cover the surfaces of the papillae. Taste buds are collections of nerve-like cells that connect to nerves running into the brain. The tongue is anchored to the mouth by webs of tough tissue and mucosa. The tether holding down the front of the tongue is called the frenum. In the back of the mouth, the tongue is anchored into the hyoid bone. The tongue is vital for chewing and swallowing food, as well as for speech. The four common tastes are sweet, sour, bitter, and salty. A fifth taste, called umami, results from tasting glutamate (present in MSG). The tongue has many nerves that help detect and transmit taste signals to the brain. Because of this, all parts of the tongue can detect these four common tastes; the commonly described "taste map" of the tongue doesn't really exist.

Can you nail tongue and groove flooring in the groove side?
You will bust off the TOP half of the grooved side. ( because there is nothing under it to support it while driving in the nail. Once the nail begins to hit the bottom edge it wont break because its supported and resting against the floor) Dont nail the Tongue side with nothing under the tongue either because you'll bust off the tongue too. Always connect tongue and groove together so its a solid piece of wood before nailing, or fill in the gap so either end (tongue or groove) is supported from the floor up to where you're nailing.
