fungiform papilla

Fungiform papillae are found dispersed throughout the filiform papillae.

Fungiform papilla (contains taste buds)

Many people who can taste propylthiouracil are also 'supertasters'-they have more fungiform papillae, structures containing taste buds, on their tongues than non-tasters (Figure 2).

Fungiform papillae are present on the anterior portion of the tongue while circumvallate papillae and foliate papillae are found on the posterior portion of the tongue.
