The G-OBIM tongue model: An accurate open-source biomechanical model of a male human tongue

Fig 16

Localisation of the main improvements provided to the topology of the tetrahedral tongue mesh (around 3 million nodes), as compared to the last version of the tongue model [19] in our group.

Red frame: the sub-apical region is refined. Green frame: the external branches of the Styloglossus are repositioned to refine the position of their attachment on the Stylohyoid process on the skull. Yellow frame: the posterior triangular part of the Hyoglossus (Ceratoglossus) is enlarged to insert on the greater horn of the hyoid bone.
