Tongue anatomy, artwork
Tongue anatomy. Artwork sequence of magnified views of the human mouth and tongue, with the magnification increasing from left to right. The tongue in a mouth is at left, with the second image showing the filiform papillae a fungiform papilla (and three taste buds, purple) on the surface of the tongue. The third image is a magnified view of a tastebud, with nerves (blue, also seen in second image) transmitting the sensory information to the brain where it is interpreted as a taste sensation. Filiform paipillae, which are more numerous than taste buds, sense pressure. Taste buds consist of a cluster of taste receptor cells

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and fascinating world of tongue anatomy. The artwork sequence takes us on a journey through magnified views of the human mouth and tongue, gradually increasing in magnification from left to right. Starting with a view of the tongue within a mouth, we are then introduced to the filiform papillae and fungiform papilla that adorn its surface. In the second image, three taste buds stand out prominently, their purple hue contrasting against the rest of the scene. These taste buds play a crucial role in our perception of flavors. Moving further into detail, we are treated to an even closer look at one tastebud in particular. Here, nerves can be seen transmitting sensory information (depicted as blue) from this tiny receptor to the brain where it is interpreted as various taste sensations. It's truly remarkable how such small structures contribute so significantly to our sense of taste. Additionally, filiform papillae are highlighted as they outnumber taste buds and primarily sense pressure rather than flavor. This series beautifully illustrates not only anatomical features but also physiological processes occurring within our mouths. Through this stunning illustration created by Science Photo Library, viewers gain insight into both biological and neural aspects related to gustation—the sense of taste—providing a deeper appreciation for this essential aspect of human physiology.
