Coloured SEM of a fungiform papilla of the tongue
Fungiform papilla of tongue. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a fungiform papilla of the tongue. The taste buds, the organs of taste, are found under the fungiform papillae. Fungiform papillae are covered by layers of stratified squamous epithelium, which constantly shed their dead cells (seen here as thin flakes) and replace them with cells from their underlying layers. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a fungiform papilla, one of the many fascinating structures on our tongue. Through the lens of a scanning electron microscope (SEM), this coloured image reveals the complexity and beauty hidden within our taste buds. The fungiform papillae play a crucial role in our sense of taste, housing the organs responsible for detecting different flavors. Beneath their surface lies an array of taste buds, which are essential for experiencing sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami sensations. Covered by layers of stratified squamous epithelium, these papillae constantly undergo renewal as dead cells flake off and are replaced by fresh ones from below. This perpetual process ensures that our taste receptors remain functional and responsive to new culinary experiences. While we don't know the exact magnification used to capture this stunning image, it's clear that it offers us a glimpse into the microscopic wonders within our own bodies. The intricacy displayed here reminds us just how remarkable human anatomy truly is. This print from Science Photo Library serves as a testament to both scientific curiosity and artistic appreciation for nature's marvels. It invites us to explore further into the realms unseen with awe and wonderment at every turn.
