Four Types of Lingual Papilla, Illustration

Illustration detailing the four types of lingual papilla which taste buds lie within on the tongue. From top left to bottom right: fungiform papilla, filiform papilla, foliate papilla, vallate papilla (circumvallate papilla). These structures are involved in detecting the five (known) elements of taste perception: salty, sour, bitter, sweet, and umami.
