Test it and let me know. -- Cathy "Both the development and maintenance of taste buds is dependent on nerve innervation. If the nerve innervating taste buds is cut, the taste buds degenerate, and do not reappear until the nerve reinnervates the tissue. It is not know how the nerve activates taste bud formation, and only specific nerves will regenerate taste buds. Cells within the taste bud have a limited life span of approximately ten days to two weeks. Therefore, new taste cells must continually differentiate to replace dying taste cells, and cells at a variety of different developmental stages are present within a single taste bud. In consequence, the synapses between taste receptor cells and nerves must constantly be remodeled. Several morphologically distinct cells can be distinguished within a single taste bud; these different cell types may represent different stages in the development of a taste cell."

Answer Brian - of course I cannot be sure without examining you, but it is not uncommon for the taste buds which are on the surface of the tongue to become inflamed. My suggestion is to see an oral and maxillofacial surgeon if the bumps remain for greater that 10 days. |

I have a crackpot theory: biting on the tongue inhibits speech, and temporarily turns off whatever concentration might normally be reserved for language. Does anyone have a better explanation? 5 Answers redunicorn@s... 3 months ago Report Abuse Best Answer - Chosen by Asker "When you are concentrating on something, you are using the hemisphere of the brain also used for processing motor input. It's also noticeable that some people walk more slowly when they are thinking of something difficult. This is caused by interference from the two activities fighting for the same bit of brain to process them. By bidont_use_thisip or sticking your tongue out, you are suspending motor activity and keeping your head rigid, to minimise movement and hence interference." Source(s): [link to www.smh.com.au] |

Or it could just be an inflammation of some sort like you say. But I'd get it checked out and maybe biopsied just to me sure. |

I`ve got three sticking up like tiny mushrooms! be sure you floss, then brush your teeth and rinse well. then drink about 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (no, not baking powder) in a half glass of water. if you have aloe vera juice or aloe vera gel, put a dab on the inflamed spot. go to sleep. you'll be fine in the morning. you need to drink more water, eat more fresh vegetables and ripe fruits, eat less sugar and sweets, eat less hot spices. eat more like what you would give to a baby. go to bed earlier, get enough sleep. |
