Foliate, Vallate and Fungiform Papillae have the taste buds that help identify taste. Filiform Papillae help grip the food and keep it in place while eating. The Sulcus Terminalis divides the tongue into two halves. The Lingual and Palatine tonsils both help filter germs. The Adenoids help fight infection. The Frenulum Linguae secures the tongue in place…
