Are papillae the same as taste buds?
Papillae are ridges found on your tongue. Taste buds are found within papillae your tongue. There are several types of papillae but it seems you only need to know the difference between the two.
What are the layers of the cutaneous membrane?
There are three layers:The epidermis: a thin outer portion, that is the keratinized stratified squamous epithelium of skin. The epidermis is important for the protective function of skin. The basal layers of this epithelium are folded to form dermal papillae. Thin skin contains four types of cellular layers, and thick skin contains five.The dermis: a thicker inner portion. This is the connective tissue layer of skin. It is important for sensation, protection and thermoregulation. It contains nerves, the blood supply, fibroblasts and more, as well as sweat glands, which open out onto the surface of the skin, and in some regions, hair. The apical layers of the dermis are folded, to form dermal papillae, which are particularly prominent in thick skin.The hypodermis. This layer is underneath the dermis, and merges with it. It mainly contains adipose tissue and sweat glands. The adipose tissue has metabolic functions: it is responsible for production of vitamin D, and triglycerides.
What collects urine which drains continuously from the papillae?

What is contained inside papillae?
the taste cells
What is the function of the subpapillary plexus?
This is a blood vessel network that nourishes the superficial dermal structures, the dermal papillae, and the epidermis.
Fingerprints and footprints are formed by what?
dermal papillae
What is responsible for the ridges of thick skin?
Dermal Papillae
Which structure of skin forms fingerprints?
Dermal papillae
These structures are formed by portions of the epidermis that extend into the dermis and are adjacent to dermal papillae?
Hairs are structures are formed by portions of the epidermis that extend into the dermis and are adjacent to dermal papillae.
What are the finger like upper projection of the dermis into the epidermis called?
Dermal Papillae.
What are epidermal ridges and dermal papillae?
Epidermal Ridges: the ridges of the epidermis found in the palms and soles, where the sweat pores open; form in fetus as epidermis conforms to the dermal papillae aka fingerprints Dermal Papillae: finger like projections in the papillary region of the dermis where the epidermis conforms for fingerprints
What dermal structures are responsible for fingerprints?
The dermal tissue structures responsible for fingerprints are dermal papillae. They are tiny extensions of the dermis into the epidermis.
What are fingerprints a result of?
dermal papillae that create epidermal ridges
What extensions are created by fingerprints of the dermis into the epidermis?
Dermal papillae
The part of the skin that gives you a unique set of fingerprints is the?
dermal papillae
Why is the dermal papillae significant in forensic medicine?
fingerprints are found here
