Detailed Alt Text for 87.TonguePapillae_low.jpg Histological sections of four types of tongue papillae stained with H&E. The foliate papilla shows deep folds with taste buds located along the sides and crypts between them. The vallate papilla displays a large circular structure with surrounding crypts and underlying serous glands. The filiform papilla consists of elongated projections with a keratinized surface and underlying lamina propria. The fungiform papilla appears rounded with a central core of lamina propria and a non-keratinized epithelial surface. The image illustrates structural differences among papillae types and their associated features such as taste buds and glands.
