Dermoscopic 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 کاملLingual tactile acuity, taste perception, and the density and diameter of fungiform papillae in female subjects.
A growing body of evidence suggests that individuals who differ in taste perception differ in lingual tactile perception. To address this issue, spatial resolution acuity was estimated for 83 young adult females (52 Asians and 31 Caucasians) by their ability to examine with the tongue and identify embossed letters of the alphabet. Ratings of the magnitude of the bitterness of 0.0032M 6-n-propyl...

متن کاملDenver Papillae Protocol for Objective Analysis of Fungiform Papillae
The goal of the Denver Papillae Protocol is to use a dichotomous key to define and prioritize the characteristics of fungiform papillae (FP) to ensure consistent scoring between scorers. This protocol builds off of a need that has arisen from the last two decades of taste research using FP as a proxy for taste pore density. FP density has historically been analyzed using Miller & Reedy's 1990 c...
