They cover most of the front two thirds of the tongue's surface.They appear as very small, conical or cylindrical surface projections, and are arranged in rows which lie parallel to the sulcus terminalis.n some diseases, there can be depapillation of the tongue, where the lingual papillae are lost, leaving a smooth, red and possibly sore area. Examples of depapillating oral conditions include geographic tongue, median rhomboid glossitis and other types of glossitis.
