3.3 POJA-L23 Title: Tongue Description: Macroscopy dorsal surface, human. At the bottom (apex) of the picture the dorsal side is covered with numerous closed packed, small, conical filiform papillae. Interspersed among them are the larger fungiform papillae. Posteriorily the circumvallatae papillae are arranged in a V-shape row. Behind the V-row the area is covered with lingual tonsils with grooves. On top the epiglottis. Note that the foliate papillae are absent at both lateral sides in adults. 3.3 POJA-L26 Title: Filiform papillae (3) of the tongue Description: Scanning electron microscopy, dorsal surface, human, neonate. Slender, thin threadlike extensions of the filiform papillae. In between a broad fungiform papilla (see scheme L87B). |
