The tongue has types of papillae. The Foliate papillae is found at its back side surface, a mass of Filiform papillae interspersed with Fungiform papillae covers its tip and dorsum, on the root of the tongue at the very back there is a set of V-Shaped Circumvallate papillae which has protective and preventive swallowing functions, The diagnosis puts the emphasis on these two types of papillae - the Filiform papillae forming the coating and the Fungiform papillae that form the tongue body surface. They become "red points or spots" when in a pathological condition.
