False-colour SEM of a papilla vallata
Papilla vallata on tongues surface. False-colour scanning electron micrograph of a papilla vallata (brown), a site of taste buds, partly surrounded by filiform papillae (bottom). Taste buds are not visible here but they lie below the surface and in the surrounding cavity of the papillae vallate. The taste buds situated on the papillae vallate are sensitive to the bitter taste. There are about 9000 taste buds which are mostly distributed on the tongues surface. Papillae vallate are 1 to 2mm in diameter and are arranged in a v-shaped pattern at the tongues root. Magnification: x123 at 6x6cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a false-colour scanning electron micrograph of a papilla vallata, found on the surface of the tongue. The papilla vallata, depicted in brown hues, is surrounded by filiform papillae at its bottom. Although not visible in this image, taste buds are located beneath the surface and within the surrounding cavity of the papillae vallate. The taste buds situated on these unique structures are specifically sensitive to bitter flavors. With approximately 9000 taste buds distributed across the tongue's surface, they play a crucial role in our gustatory sense. Measuring between 1 to 2mm in diameter, these papillae vallate form a distinct V-shaped pattern at the root of our tongues. Through magnification at x123 and printed at a size of 6x6cm, this microscopic photograph offers an intimate glimpse into this intricate aspect of human anatomy. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this remarkable image that delves deep into our understanding of taste bud function and oral sensory perception. It serves as a testament to their commitment to providing high-quality scientific visuals for educational purposes and research endeavors related to subjects such as anatomy and human body studies.
