A short spoken segment (YouTube video) arguing that the tongue is intimately connected to many body systems. The speaker claims the tongue uniquely (as a muscle/organ under voluntary control) influences the nervous system, brain-wave patterns, digestion, movement, speech, and sensory intake; uses an anecdote about sharpshooters biting their tongue to calm the body before a shot.

What did you realize about the tongue? That it's not only connected to everything, but what that connection means. Sharpshooters, just before they take their shot, they'll bite their tongue, telling their body, chill out while I take this shot. The only organ and muscle that we can control that affects our nervous system, our brain wave patterns, our digestion, how we move, how we talk, how we receive the world, how we literally take in all the world, process it, and then remit that into the world.
