Tongue papillae, light micrograph
Tongue papillae. Coloured light micrograph of a section through the tongue, showing its filiform papillae (red). They project from the tongues upper surface, giving it its rough texture. Taste buds are located between the papillae at the sides and base of the tongue. Underneath this surface layer, the tongue is composed of muscle fibres (white and orange stripes, bottom) that attach it to the mouth and enable it to move. Magnification: x300 when printed 10cm wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of tongue papillae, providing a fascinating glimpse into the world of human anatomy. The filiform papillae, depicted in striking red hues, protrude from the upper surface of the tongue and contribute to its rough texture. Nestled between these papillae are taste buds, responsible for our sensory perception of different flavors. Beneath this textured surface lies a complex network of muscle fibers, represented by alternating white and orange stripes at the bottom. These muscles not only anchor the tongue within the mouth but also enable it to perform various movements essential for speech and swallowing. With a magnification level of x300 when printed 10cm wide, this image offers an up-close examination that unveils hidden intricacies often overlooked in everyday life. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly mundane aspects of our bodies possess remarkable complexity when observed under scientific scrutiny. Whether you're captivated by biology or simply intrigued by human anatomy, this false-colored light micrograph provides an awe-inspiring visual representation that invites contemplation about our senses and how they shape our experiences with taste and touch.
