The intrinsic muscles lie entirely within the tongue‚ while the extrinsic muscles attach the tongue to other structures. The extrinsic muscles reposition the tongue‚ while the intrinsic muscles alter the shape of the tongue for talking and swallowing. Extrinsic tongue muscles‚ by definition‚ originate from structures outside the tongue and insert into the tongue. The four paired

The Relationship Between The Nervous System and The Endocrine System The cells and tissues in the body are delicate and easily disrupted. They will only be able to function well if all aspects of their chemical and physical environment is continuously adjusted to keep them stable and in equilibrium. The process in which several body systems work together to maintain the balanced environment is called homeostasis. The endocrine and nervous system work closely together to help maintain homeostasis

in the state of balance‚ but it mostly refers to how the human body reacts to different changes and keep itself within certain guidelines to insure that it can properly function. These reactions include a range of responses‚ from the release of hormones to regulate internal balances to sweating to lower body temperature. An understandable comparison for homeostasis is that it is like a set of scales. Consider if weights are placed onto one side of the scale‚ that side will drop; if an equal amount
