Soft tissue occupying the interproximal space confined by adjacent crowns in contact.<\/p>\n
A small, nipple-shaped projection.<\/p>\n
In botany, a budlike structure associated with reproduction in certain algae.<\/p>\n
A small swelling which sticks up above the usual surface level.<\/p>\n
Papillae, small, nipplelike projection (e.g., the lacrimal papilla at the inner angle of the eye).<\/p>\n
Any small structure that projects outward. For example, papillae on the front of the tongue \u2014 which look like tiny bumps about the size of a pin head \u2014 contain the taste buds, which are taste receptors for food.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
A tiny, nipple-like protrusion on the surface of a tissue, like the mammary papilla, commonly known as the breast nipple.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
