THIS WILL HELP YOU A BIT, AS I TRIED TO SUMMERISE IT:
Circumvallate papillae - Eight or ten larger projections from the dorsum of the tongue forming a row anterior to and parallel with the sulcus terminalis, which separates the anterior from the posterior dorsal surface of the tongue; each one is surrounded by a circular trench (fossa) having a slightly raised outer wall ("vallum"); on their sides and the opposed margin of the vallum are numerous taste buds; they are lined by a wet stratified squamous epithelium.
Yes every one has it except it degenerates in old age, and vitamin deficiency.
No it's not bad.
No because they contain taste buds and have nerves.
