Mixed

The tongue is claimed to be the only muscle in the body attached from one end.

Infact verdict: Mixed (45/100).

The claim that the tongue is the only muscle attached from one end is misleading. While the tongue is unique in its flexibility and attachment, it is not the only muscle with a single point of attachment. The heart, for example, is also attached at one end. The evidence provided comes from sources of medium reliability and lacks authoritative scientific backing. Therefore, the claim is not entirely accurate.
