Greetings Card : Tongue papillae, SEM
Cards from Science Photo Library
Tongue papillae, SEM
Tongue papillae. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of filiform papillae on the surface of the tongue. Some types of papillae, or small projections, house tastebuds, but filiform papillae are predominantly mechanical. They give the tongue its rough texture, which helps to move food around in the mouth. The papillae have a scaly appearance because they are constantly shedding their top layer of skin. Magnification: x90 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of tongue papillae, as captured by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The filiform papillae depicted here are responsible for giving the tongue its characteristic rough texture. Unlike other types of papillae that house tastebuds, these filiform papillae primarily serve a mechanical function in moving food around within the mouth. The scaly appearance of the papillae is due to their constant shedding of the top layer of skin. This shedding process ensures that the taste buds and sensory receptors on the surface remain fresh and receptive to different flavors. With a magnification level of x90 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this image allows us to appreciate the microscopic intricacies that contribute to our sense of taste. Beyond its scientific significance, this visually striking illustration also serves as a reminder of our biological connection to nature. It highlights how even seemingly mundane aspects like our tongue's texture play an essential role in facilitating everyday actions such as eating and savoring food. Through this stunning computer artwork, Science Photo Library invites us into the fascinating world of histology and anatomy while offering a glimpse into one aspect of human physiology – taste sensation.
