When bacteria get trapped in the median sulcus, which is the groove on the surface of the tongue, it can lead to the formation of biofilms and plaque. This buildup can contribute to oral health issues, such as bad breath (halitosis) and an increased risk of cavities or gum disease. Additionally, the presence of bacteria in this area can cause inflammation and irritation, potentially leading to a condition known as tongue coating. Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential to prevent these complications.
the posterior median sulcus
Median sulcus of tongue
anterior lateral sulcus
The answer is sulcus.
Sulci is the plural of sulcus
Promachoteuthis sulcus was created in 2007.
The Sullen Sulcus was created in 2002.
The depression or groove in the surface of the cerebral cortex is called a sulcus. Sulci are the shallow grooves, while deeper grooves are called fissures. They help to increase the surface area of the brain, allowing for more brain cells and more complex functions.
Interventricular Sulcus
Without adequate oral hygiene, bacteria can grow anywhere on a tooth. However, the most common areas are the sulcus (space between the tooth and gum) interproximal (between the teeth) and in the grooves of the biting surface.
Damage to the central sulcus can result in sensory and motor deficits. It can cause loss of sensation, weakness, or paralysis in body parts controlled by the affected area of the brain. Additionally, it may lead to difficulties with fine motor skills and coordination.
