When we, as humans, articulate, our tongues tend to hit the back of the teeth.
I have a hands-off policy when it comes to my larynx.
As was to be expected, the discovery of the nervous apparatus of the salivary glands immediately impelled physiologists to seek a similar apparatus in other glands lying deeper in the digestive canal.
