The tongue originates from the first, second, and third pharyngeal arches which induces the migration of muscles from the occipital myotomes . A U-shaped sulcus develops in front of and on both sides of the oral part of the tongue . This allows the tongue to be free and highly mobile, except at the region of the lingual frenulum, where it remains attached . Disturbances during this stage cause tongue tie or ankyloglossia . During the sixth week of gestation, the medial nasal processes approach each other to form a single globular process that in time gives rise to the nasal tip, columella, prolabium, frenulum of the upper lip, and the primary palate . As the tongue continues to develop, frenulum cells undergo apoptosis, retracting away from the tip of the tongue, and increasing the tongue's mobility . </P>
