Taste buds were generally found on the posterior side of the tongue. Neural elements (nerve fibres, mainly thick myelinated, and ganglia arranged in a chain-like fashion) participated in the innervation of the taste buds. Cholinesterase activity was much marked in the bottom of the taste buds, while the marginal surface showed no such activity.
