. A text-book in general physiology and anatomy. Physiology, Comparative; Anatomy. 446 THE SPECIAL SENSES. Xaste BuM', - FiG. 208—Section of oiroumvallate papilla. The fungiform papillse are so called from their resem- blance to a mushroom, and consist of small, rounded ele- vations supported on short, slender stalks. They are found all over the middle and fore part of the tongue on the upper surface. The fihform papillse are most numerous and the smallest, and appear as little pointed projections scattered all over the upper surface and edges of the tongue. In the walls of tlie cir- cumvaUate papillse, in some of the fungiform papillse, and in portions of the pharynx, palate, and epiglottis, and even in the vocal cords, are peculiar structures known as taste buds. These taste buds are oval bodies composed of a number of over- lapping epithehal ceUs (protective) surrounding a core of elongated or taste cells which project through a pore at the top some stiff hairlike processes and are connected at the base with the taste nerve fibers. The hairlike extensions constitute the part of these organs which is directly stimulated by the tasted substance. The impulse thus origi- nated is passed through the body of the taste cells and finally stim- ulates the terminal branches of the taste nerve fibers themselves. These taste buds, therefore, may be con- Tasle Cells.
