Detailed explanation-1: -The foliate papillae are small folds of mucosa located along the lateral surface of the tongue. The filiform papillae are thin and long; they are the most numerous papillae and are located along the entire dorsum of the tongue, but they are not involved in taste sensation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Foliate Papillae Function Broadly, the function of the foliate papillae is to perceive taste. While there is a misconception that some regions of the tongue sense different flavors, the truth is that all parts of the tongue sense all flavors.
