Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The tiny bumps on your tongue are called papillae. They contain taste buds, which detect different flavors, and also help to grip food while chewing. Microvilli are microscopic projections on the surface of cells that increase their surface area, while gustatory sulci are grooves on the surface of the tongue where taste buds are located, but they are not the same as the papillae.
