C18: named after Ãtienne de Silhouette (1709â67), French politician, perhaps referring to silhouettes as partial portraits, with a satirical allusion to Silhouette's brief career as controller general (1759)
Basic Door Knocker Tongue Ring. This tongue ring is 5/8 and is available in 14, 12, 10 or 8 Gauge 316L surgical steel.
FUNGIFORM papillae are distributed across the anterior two-thirds of the tongue and are most numerous near the tip. These mushroom-shaped bulges contain 3-5 taste buds which are located on the dorsal surface. Fungiform papillae can be easily identified as red spots on the surface on the tongue. This is due to the rich blood supply which is located just beneath the taste buds.
