Taste buds are small structures located along the surface of the tongue or mouth that contain receptor cells for taste. Gustatory papillae and circumvallate papillae are types of papillae that contain taste buds, but not all papillae contain taste buds. Turbinate fibers are not related to taste or the tongue.
