Age-related changes in electrogustometry thresholds, tongue tip vascularization, density, and form of the fungiform papillae in humans.
The aim of the study was to investigate age-related changes in electrogustometry (EGM) thresholds, in morphology and density of the fungiform papillae (fPap) and in vessels' shape and density at the tip of the human tongue.In 156 nonsmokers (74 males, 82 females; age range: 10-80 years), divided in age groups, EGM thresholds at the chorda tympani area, at the soft palate area, and at the area o...
متن کاملTaste bud density in circumvallate and fungiform papillae of the bovine tongue.
Taste bud quantitation may provide useful parameters for interspecies comparisons of the gustatory system. The present study is a morphometric analysis of bovine taste papillae. Circumvallate and fungiform papillae from six bovine tongues were serially sectioned and, following staining, analyzed. Circumvallate papillae were found to have a mean volume of 3.66 +/- 2.82 mm3, a mean number of tast...
متن کاملDermoscopic Features of Pigmented Fungiform Papillae of the Tongue.
Fungiform papillae of the tongue are small projections involved in taste function that are typically located on the lateral aspects and tip of the tongue. They are called fungiform papillae because of their close resemblance to a fungus. In fair-skinned individuals, they are usually pink or red, but in dark-skinned individuals, they are frequently pigmented and are considered a variant of norma...
متن کاملAssociation between the number of fungiform papillae on the tip of the tongue and sensory taste perception in children
Background: To measure sensory taste perception in children with an accurate and reproducible method is challenging and objective measurement methods are scarce. Objective: Aim was to characterize sensory taste perception, by measuring the number of fungiform papillae (FP) and to investigate whether the number of FP is associated with sensitivity for bitter taste and with taste preferences for ...
متن کاملEvaluation of young smokers and non-smokers with Electrogustometry and Contact Endoscopy
BACKGROUND Smoking is the cause of inducing changes in taste functionality under conditions of chronic exposure. The objective of this study was to evaluate taste sensitivity in young smokers and non-smokers and identify any differences in the shape, density and vascularisation of the fungiform papillae (fPap) of their tongue. METHODS Sixty-two male subjects who served in the Greek military f...
