We just learned about the Filiform Papillae.
Another type of lingual papillae is the Fungiform Papillae.
Remember the lingual papillae are the bumps on the top of your tongue, and there are a few different types.
The fungiform papillae are shaped like a club, and are usually red.
They are mixed in along with all of the filiform papillae, but they are mostly found on the tip and sides of the tongue.
These bumps have taste buds, and can sense the five different tastes: sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and umami.
