What Is the Human Tongue Model Used For?
The tongue is a muscular organ used in tasting, chewing, swallowing and speech, and its upper surface carries taste buds set in small projections called papillae. This model shows the tongue from tip to root, with the epiglottis behind it — the flap at the entrance to the larynx that closes during swallowing so food passes into the oesophagus rather than the windpipe. Its coloured areas follow the traditional “taste map”. Present-day science teaches that each basic taste — sweet, salty, sour, bitter and also umami — can be sensed wherever there are taste buds, so many teachers use the map as a starting point for a simple class experiment in which students test the idea for themselves.
The model suits school lessons on the sense organs and taste, nutrition and digestion in the mouth, and introductory anatomy in nursing and paramedical courses.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Human Tongue Model show?
The root of the tongue, the epiglottis and other parts, with colours marking the generalised areas of bitter, sweet, sour and salty taste; the parts are labelled and explained on a key card.
Is the taste map on the model scientifically correct?
It shows the traditional generalised taste areas, which is how this basic model is designed. Current science holds that all basic tastes can be detected across the tongue wherever taste buds occur, so the model is most useful as a discussion point and a guide for a taste experiment.
How is the model mounted?
It is supplied on a stand, together with a key card.
What size is it?
It is listed as standard size. The listing does not give its dimensions or material, so ask JLab for them if you need them for a tender.
What should I include in an export enquiry?
The quantity, destination country and port or city, delivery terms such as FOB or CIF, any packing or labelling instructions and a tender reference if relevant.
