Can anyone help explain this in an easier way? I need it for a presentation on the tongue.
Thanks so much
Mucous membrane covers the tongue's mass of muscles and fat.
The double-layered membrane helps block microbes and pathogens from entering the digestive system and other body cavities that come into contact with the outside.
The epithelial layer of the mucous membrane secretes mucus that helps moisten the mouth and food.
