QUESTION

In tongue, taste buds papillae is of?

OPTIONS

(A) Fungiform
(B) Filiform
(C) Lenticular
(D) None of the above

ANSWER

(A) Fungiform

EXPLANATION

Fungiform papillae of the tongue contain taste buds and are therefore associated with gustation. Filiform papillae are primarily mechanical and generally lack taste buds, while lenticular papillae are specialized mechanical papillae of ruminants; hence fungi-form (fungiform) is correct.
