Fungiform and circumvallate papillae are the types of papillae on the tongue that contain taste buds. Filiform papillae do not contain taste buds, but instead are responsible for detecting textures and providing friction for moving food around the mouth. Palatine papillae are located on the roof of the mouth and do not contain taste buds.
