Human Tongue Model
Human Tongue Model (Product Code: SLE/BL/94) is a coloured, numbered teaching model of the human tongue that lets students trace its surface papillae, its muscle layers and the neighbouring salivary glands in a single view. It suits school and college biology classes, nursing and dental foundation courses, and any department assembling biology teaching aids in India for lessons on taste and digestion. The model is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) in Ambala, India, and arrives mounted on a base with its key card.
Specifications
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Model | Human tongue with associated muscles and glands |
| Mounting | Mounted on a base |
| Finish | Appropriately coloured and numbered |
| Key | Key card included |
| Surface structures shown | Epiglottis, root of tongue, circumvallate papillae, filiform papillae, fungiform papillae, apex linguae (tip of the tongue) |
| Muscles shown | M. longitudinalis superior, M. transversus linguae, M. longitudinalis inferior, M. genioglossus |
| Glands shown | Glandula sublingualis (sublingual gland), submandibular gland |
Typical Use
Teachers bring out the tongue model when covering the special senses and the mouth as the entry point of the digestive system. The three kinds of papillae on the upper surface lead naturally into a discussion of taste, while the longitudinal, transverse and genioglossus muscles show how the tongue changes shape during chewing, swallowing and speech. Because every structure carries a number, students can work through the key card in pairs, point to each part, and then quiz one another with the card covered.
The epiglottis and root of the tongue help explain why food passes into the oesophagus rather than the airway, and the sublingual and submandibular glands tie the lesson to saliva and the first stage of digestion. As part of school biology lab equipment in India, the model works well beside a prepared slide of tongue tissue so learners can compare the whole-organ view with what they see under the microscope. Store it covered and away from direct sunlight so the colouring stays clear.
Manufacturer
This tongue model is produced by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the company behind the ScienceLab name, which operates from Ambala, Haryana and makes anatomy models alongside a wider range of educational laboratory equipment. Schools and procurement offices that need vendor registration details can use its GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT and LEI 3358004HRD1JIVXKYX49. Background on the company is available on the ScienceLab company profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which parts of the tongue can students identify on this model?
The epiglottis, root of the tongue, circumvallate, filiform and fungiform papillae, the apex, four named muscles (superior and inferior longitudinal, transverse and genioglossus) and the sublingual and submandibular glands. Each is numbered and listed on the key card.
Is the model supplied with a key and a base?
Yes. It comes mounted on a base, and a key card matching the numbered structures is included, so it is ready for classroom use on arrival.
What are the dimensions of the Human Tongue Model?
Overall dimensions are not listed on this page. Please ask through our contact page and we will confirm the size before you order.
How should the model be cleaned?
Wipe it with a soft cloth, lightly dampened if needed, and let it dry before storing. Avoid solvents or abrasive cleaners, which can dull the painted colours and numbers.
