The dorsum of the tongue is convex and marked by a median sulcus, which divides it into symmetrical halves; this sulcus ends about 2.5 cm. from the root of the organ, in a depression called the foramen cecum, from which a shallow groove, the terminal sulcus, runs laterally and forward on either side to the margin of the tongue.
