Tounges are made of which kind of muscules?

The organ's ability to transform into a variety of shapes comes from its composition of skeletal muscle interspersed with fat. The tongue and its muscles are laterally symmetrical: a median septum divides the organ into two halves. The tongue is made up of two types of muscles: extrinsic and intrinsic.

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.
Underneath the papillae, there are mucous and serous glands, pockets of adipose tissue, and a layer of skeletal muscle and connective tissue. The skeletal muscle is arranged in three different planes, which allows the tongue to perform a number of complex movements.
