Photographic Print : Tongue surface, SEM
Photo Prints From Science Photo Library
Tongue surface, SEM
Tongue surface, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The tongue is covered in many backward facing projections called filiform papillae, which sense pressure. The papillae have a scaly appearance because they are constantly shedding their top layer of skin

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate surface of a tongue. Through the lens of a scanning electron microscope (SEM), we are granted an up-close view of the tongue's textured landscape. The orange-colored image reveals numerous filiform papillae, small projections that cover the entire surface of the tongue. These filiform papillae serve as sensory receptors, enabling us to sense pressure and touch within our mouths. Constantly shedding their top layer of skin, these papillae give rise to their scaly appearance. This shedding process is crucial for maintaining optimal functionality. The false coloration applied to this SEM image enhances our understanding of its biological significance. By highlighting key anatomical features such as these filiform papillae, we gain insight into how our tongues play a vital role in our daily lives. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph delves into the realm of biology and anatomy by showcasing one aspect of tactile sensation within mammals. It reminds us that even seemingly mundane structures like our tongues possess incredible complexity when examined at microscopic levels. As we explore this mesmerizing image captured by Science Photo Library, it serves as a reminder that there is always more than meets the eye when it comes to understanding the wonders hidden within nature's creations.
