Welcome back, everyone. Our next question says, the papel that are the largest and least numerous having many taste buds are a fungiform papel b, foliate Elli, C vallate pali and the mushroom shaped Elli. So here we're talking about essentially uh taste buds on the little bumps on the tongue and the ones that are the largest and least numerous with many taste buds are choice. C excuse me, the Valley Pali. These are the largest ones. They're in a v shaped ro on the back of the tongue and they can have as many as 100 taste buds in each. And so that's our answer here. Let's look at our other answer. Choices. Choice. A uniform pali and D mushroom shaped papel are two different names for the same thing. And they both refer to the smaller, more numerous bumps uh toward the front of the tongue. So A and D are not our answers. And finally, b the foliate paille, these are on the sides of the tongue and our ridges rather than bumps, but not what we're looking for. So we'll cross that off. So again, the pap that are the largest and least numerous with many taste buds is choice C the valet Popil. See you in the next video.
