Circumvallate papillae are located at the base of your tongue.

These papillae help you not only to taste, but also to detect temperature and touch through sensory cells they contain. You’ll find them on the tip and edges of your tongue.

Fungiform papillae are the most common type.

These fibers send the message to your brain that you’ve just bitten into an apple or licked a lollipop. Each taste bud has between 10 and 50 sensory cells that are connected to nerve fibers. They’re housed inside the tiny bumps that line your tongue, called papillae.

You have about 10,000 taste buds in total. They enable you to identify all the different tastes - sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami (meaty or savory). These tiny sensory organs line your tongue. Your taste buds are the reason you can tell that a lemon is tart and ice cream is sweet. There are many causes ranging from infections to allergies. It’s possible to develop swollen taste buds, which can cause pain and make it hard to eat or drink.
