Lingual papillae
4 types of lingual papillae
Filliform
Fungiform
Follate
Vallate
A lingual papilla which does not have a tastebud and it is avascular
Filliform papillae
Very numerous, have an elongated conical shape and are heavily keratinized which gives their surface a gray or whitish appearance
Filliform papillae
Provides a rough surface that facilitates movement of food during chewing
Filliform papillae
Much less numerous, lightly keratinized, and interspersed among the filiform papillae.
Fungiform papillae
They are mushroom shaped with well vascularized and innervated cores of lamina propria
Fungiform papillae
