For example, papillae on the front of the tongue — which look like tiny bumps about the size of a pin head — contain the taste buds, which are taste receptors for food.Any small nipple-shaped protuberance. Several different kinds of papillae occur on the tongue, in association with the taste buds. The dental papilla is part of a developing tooth; the optic papilla is an alternative name for the optic disk.A small projection, such as those with which the corium of the skin is covered, and which project into the epidermis and make its union with the corium more intimate; or those covering the tongue and projecting from its surface.A tiny, nipple-like protrusion on the surface of a tissue, like the mammary papilla, commonly known as the breast nipple.A small, nipple-like projection, like those found on the tongue involved in touch and taste. There are two types: the tall and thin ones named papillae filiformis, and the shorter, wider ones referred to as papillae fungiformis.
