“…For example filiform papillae which were arranged on the posterior part of intermolar eminence in rabbit and their connective tissue core were shaped palm likewise in papillae in treeshrew, described by Kobayashi and Wanichanon (1992). A similar morphological kind of filiform papillae was found and examined by Burity et al (2009). Moreover, it is necessary to mention that single not branched filiform papillae are also common on the tongue of different species (Ciuccio et al, 2008;Estecondo et al, 2001).…”

“…For comparison, in Japanese monkey (Iwasaki et al, 1992) and Bactrian camel (Erdunchaolu et al, 2001) the structure of these papillae are generally identical in all areas of the tongue. Iwasaki et al (1988) also noticed it in squirrel monkey and Burity et al (2009) in golden-headed lion tamarin.…”

“…Filiform papillae with additional processes are present on the tongue of different animal species. These papillae are different in shape (Burity et al, 2009;Emura et al, 2006Emura et al, , 2008Estecondo et al, 2001;Pastor et al, 2008). Scientific literature also informs that some morphological forms of filiform papillae occurring in different animal species are alike.…”

Summary. This study was conducted on 10 tongues of adult rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus f. domestica), of both sexes (five females and five males). The filiform papillae of the tongue were studied, using light and scanning electron microscope. The filiform papillae were arranged on the dorsal surface of the apex and body of the tongue and on its margins. The investigation showed that there were single and complex filiform papillae on the rabbit tongue. These single filiform papillae were cone-shaped, similarly as their connective tissue cores. Complex papillae were palm-shaped and cone-shaped with three to seven processes. However, the number of processes towards the throat diminished. Connective tissue cores of these papillae had also processes. The filiform papillae consisted of an anterior and posterior epithelial cell column. The anterior epithelial cell column showed signs of parakeratinization or soft keratinization whereas the posterior epithelial cell column -hard keratinization. Between filiform papillae there was interpapillary epithelium which did not have any signs of keratinization.

Pesq. Vet. Bras. 33(Supl.1):75-84, dezembro 2013 75 RESUMO.-Para a análise e descrição comparativa da morfologia da língua e de suas papilas, bem como a distribuição destas, foram utilizados três animais de faixas etárias distintas (filhote, jovem, adulto), de duas espécies de primatas, Callithrix penicillata (sagui-de-tufo-preto) For the comparative analysis and description of the morphology of the tongue and taste buds as well as the distribution of these we have used three animals of different age groups (puppy, young adult), of two species of primate, Callithrix penicillata (black-tufted-ear-marmoset) and Alouatta caraya (black-howler-monkey), both being observed by scanning electron microscopy. The animals of the species Callithrix penicillata were from a commercial breeding of wild animals in Atibaia-SP and they had died of natural causes, and the specie Alouatta caraya were from the collection of Macroscopic Anatomy Laboratory of Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science University of São Paulo (FMVZ-USP). With the material analyzed and the technique employed could be seen that the tongue of black-tufted-ear-marmosets and black-howler-monkeys had examined lingual papillae similar to those described for other primate species. The tongue has morphological differences, especially for some types of lingual papillae, at the expense of advancing age of the animals. Overall, we found four types of lingual papillae, which are: filiform, fungiform, vallate and litter. The tongues of the black-howler--monkey had characteristics of animals with herbivorous diets. Possessing this way with the filiform papillae varied formats (crown, spear, multifilament), according to the regions of the tongue, and also robust taste, especially in the lingual prominence. Since the tongues of the black-tufted-ear-marmosets owned features of omnivorous animals. With filiform-shaped crown, large amounts of fungiform papillae and foliate papillae developed. It was observed that the changes of tongue papillae that occur in animals after birth correlated with the change in the types of foods consumed. Being suspected then conclude that diets have direct relation to the morphological and structural of the lingual papillae now here in the animals analyzed.INDEX TERMS: Lingual papillae, scanning electron microscopy, Callithrix penicillata, Alouatta caraya.

The current study aimed to describe the anatomical features of the tongues of two micro‐mammals common in the Egyptian fauna; the Nile grass rat (Arvicathis niloticus), and the Egyptian long‐eared hedgehog (Hemiechinus auritus). The tongues of five adult individuals of each species were excised and processed histologically, histochemically, and morphometrically. Statistical analysis comparing the relative tongue length in both species showed that there was a significant difference, which may correlate with the difference in feeding preferences. Grossly, the Nile grass rat has a dorsal lingual prominence with bifurcated apex while, the long‐eared hedgehog has a median slight elevation with rounded apex. Numerous forms of mechanical and gustatory papillae are scattered along the lingual dorsal epithelium. The histochemical detection of keratin by Holland's trichrome stain showed an intense expression in the case of A. niloticus and mild expression in H. auritus. The framework of the tongue (entoglossum) is supported by either a core of cartilage in H. auritus or bone in A. niloticus which incorporated in the lingual root. The lingual glands also showed marked variation, the Nile grass rat exhibit dense populations of mucous‐secreting glands and lesser populations of serous‐secreting glands, the contrary is true in H. auritus. In conclusion, the micro and macro‐anatomical features of the tongues of both species showed adaptive changes to accommodate the feeding lifestyle. Such type of studies using mammals from different phylogenetic traits and almost have different feeding preferences provide answers to many research questions related to tongue evolution among mammalian vertebrates.
