What Are Papillae?
Papillae
Say: puh-PIH-lee
Papillae are the little bumps on the top of your tongue that help grip food while your teeth are chewing. They also have another special job — they contain your taste buds, the things that help you taste everything from sour lemons to sweet peaches. Yummy!
