Tongue surface. False-colour scanning electron micrograph of fungiform papillae (round & red) interspersed with a few conical-shaped filiform papillae. Fungiform papillae appear pinker because of the numerous blood vessels in the underlying connective tissue. Fungiform & filiform papillae are covered by layers of stratified squamous epithelium. Dead cells are constantly shed & replaced by cells of the underlying layers. Taste buds (not visible here) are usually found under the surface of fungiform papillae. Filiform papillae have tactile & mechanical functions. Magnification: x95 at 6x7cm size. Magnification: x155 at 4x5 inch size.
