Abstract: Resumo: Os quelônios são importantes como fonte alimentar e econômica para as comunidades da região amazônica. Sendo assim, a caça, a pesca e a procura por ovos destes animais tem ocorrido frequentemente. Podocnemis expansa (Tartaruga da Amazônia) é o maior quelônio de água doce da América do Sul. É uma espécie largamente distribuída, porém, nota-se que aspectos anatômicos da espécie são insuficientemente descritos. O objetivo desse estudo foi descrever a cavidade orofaríngea desses quelônios. Foram utilizadas… Show more

“…The tongue of hawksbill sea turtle hatchlings is a muscular and robust triangular organ, displaying a wide base and a slightly rounded apex, similar to the findings described by Iwasaki, Asami, and Wanichanon (1996) for juvenile hawksbill sea turtle and olive ridley sea turtle ( L. olivacea ) hatchlings (Iwasaki, Wanichanon, & Asami, 1996). In contrast, some semiaquatic, aquatic, and terrestrial turtles have a slightly longer tongue (Heiss et al, 2011; Natchev et al, 2010; Pinheiro et al, 2010; Silveira et al, 2015), allowing for certain food maneuverability within the oral cavity (Natchev et al, 2011). The development of a mobile tongue consists in one of the key advances in aquatic–terrestrial transitions, comprising an advantageous tool for exploiting food resources in the new terrestrial environment (Lintner et al, 2012).…”

“…Initially, an incision was made at the angles (commissures) between the maxilla and the mandible for mandible separation and removal, followed by entire oropharyngeal cavity floor removal, from the limit of the apex of the tongue with the dentary bone of the mandible to the limit of the pharynx with the esophagus. The International Committee on Veterinary Gross Anatomical Nomenclature (2017) (6th edition) was employed herein, and the results were compared with reports on other Testudines species (Fraher et al, 2010; Heiss et al, 2011; Iwasaki, 1992; Iwasaki et al, 1992; Iwasaki, Asami, and Wanichanon, 1996; Iwasaki, Wanichanon, & Asami, 1996; Lintner et al, 2012; Natchev et al, 2010; Natchev et al, 2011; Pinheiro et al, 2010; Silveira et al, 2015).…”

“…The epithelium is covered by small short projections and flattened throughout its length (Figure 2). (31) where they studied the oral cavity of Podocnemis expansa, the Amazonian turtle, although they are different species with different eating habits and environments, there are some similarities in their characteristics.…”

“…Silveira (31) describes the tongue as a muscular structure, with rhombus shape with different colorations in its regions, with papillae scattered on the surface of the epithelium, with the presence of taste buds attached to the coating epithelium. Regularly covered by cylindrical pseudo-lamellar epithelium, with non-keratinized goblet cells and with considerable presence of mucous cells.…”
