Filiform papillae are the most numerous of the lingual papillae. Unlike the other kinds of papillae, filiform papillae do not contain taste buds. They cover most of the front two thirds of the tongue's surface.They appear as very small, conical or cylindrical surface projections, and are arranged in rows which lie parallel to the sulcus terminalis.n some diseases, there can be depapillation of the tongue, where the lingual papillae are lost, leaving a smooth, red and possibly sore area. Examples of depapillating oral conditions include geographic tongue, median rhomboid glossitis and other types of glossitis.
The taste buds of the tongue occur within papillae (foliate, fungiform, and vallate) present in the stratified squamous epithelium of the tongue. The taste buds consist of basal cells (near the basal lamina), supporting cells, and gustatory cells (sensory or neuroepithelial cells).The gustatory cells, which can be distinguished from supporting cells with a specific staining only, have microvilli at their apical ends extending in the taste pore.he taste buds of the tongue occur within papillae (foliate, fungiform, and vallate) present in the stratified squamous epithelium of the tongue.
