Morphology of the lingual papillae in the Asian golden cat

Abstract

We microscopically examined the dorsal lingual surface of an adult Asian golden cat (Catopuma temminckii). The papillae on the margin of the lingual apex were horny-shaped and fungiform. The filiform papillae on the anterior part of the lingual body were large and cylindrical; the connective tissue core of each of these comprised a large conical papilla. The filiform papillae on the central part of the lingual body were large and conical-shaped on the medial side and dome-shaped on the lateral side. The connective tissue core of each medial filiform papilla comprised a large main process and some secondary processes, while processes were absent on the lateral side. These findings are peculiar to the tongue of members of the family Felidae.

Three‐dimensional study of the lingual papillae and their connective tissue cores in the Nile fox (Vulpes vulpes aegyptica) (Linnaeus, 1758)

“…Several studies have been done to investigate the morphology of tongue and lingual papillae in different members of the family Carnivora including arctic fox, silver fox, Japanese red fox, wolf, raccoon dogs, black‐backed Jackal, tiger, jaguar, ocelot, and domestic cat (El‐bably & Tolba, 2015; Emura, Hayakawa, Chen, & Shoumura, 2004; Emura, Okumura, & Chen, 2013; Emura, Okumura, Chen, & Shoumura, 2006; Emura & Sugiyama, 2014; Freire et al, 2019; Haligur, Ozkadif, & Alan, 2019; Jackowiak & Godynicki, 2004; Jackowiak, Godynicki, Skieresz‐Szewczyk, & Trzcielińska‐Lorych, 2009). In addition, the connective tissue cores (CTCs) of the lingual papillae have been studied in black‐backed jackal, dog, jaguar, and cat (Emura, 2018; Emura et al, 2013; Emura & Sugiyama, 2014; Kobayashi & Iwasaki, 1989; Kobayashi, Miyata, & Iino, 1987; Kobayashi, Miyata, Iwasaki, & Takahashi, 1988). However, no study described the morphological features of lingual papillae of the Egyptian red fox and the three‐dimensional characteristics of their CTCs.…”

“…Morphological data, particularly on tongue of different species of fish, are present in literature (Abbate et al., 2006, 2017; Abbate, Guerrera, Montalbano, Ciriaco, & Germanà, 2012; Abbate, Guerrera, Montalbano, De Carlos, et al, 2012; Collar, O'Meara, Wainwright, & Near, 2009; Dos Santos, Arantes, Santiago, & Santos, 2015; El Bakary, 2014; Elgendy, Alsafy, & Tanekhy, 2016; Guerrera et al., 2015; Ikpegbu, Ibe, & Nlebedum, 2019; Levanti et al., 2017; Mahmoud, Essa, & Sayed, 2016; Montalbano et al, 2016; Price et al., 2010; Sadeghinezhad, Rahmati‐Holasoo, Fayyaz, & Zargar, 2015; Yashpal, Kumari, Mittal, & Mittal, 2009). Nevertheless, recent data regarding the tongue anatomy in upper vertebrates are significative and could be very important in comparative anatomy (Abbate et al., 2008, 2009, ; Emura, 2016a, 2016b, 2016c, 2017, 2018a, 2018b, 2018c, 2018d; Emura & Sugiyama, 2016; Erdogan & Alan, 2012; Erdoğan & Iwasaki, 2014; Erdoğan, Lima, & Pérez, 2016; Erdoğan & Sağsöz, 2018; Erdoğan, Villar Arias, & Pérez, 2016; Erdoğan, Villar, König, & Pérez, 2018; Herrel, Redding, Meyers, & Nishikawa, 2014; Jackowiak, Skieresz‐Szewczyk, Godynicki, Iwasaki, & Meyer, 2011; Jackowiak, Skieresz‐Szewczyk, Kwiecińsk, Trzcielińska‐Lorych, & Godynicki, 2010; Sadeghinezhad et al., 2015; Sadeghinezhad, Sheibani, Memarian, & Chiocchetti, 2017; Sadeghinezhad, Tootian, & Javadi, 2018; Skieresz‐Szewczyk, Cornillie, & Jackowiak, 2018; Skieresz‐Szewczyk & Jackowiak, 2016, 2017; Skieresz‐Szewczyk, Jackowiak, & Ratajczak, 2018, 2019).

Anatomical, histological and immunohistochemical study of the tongue in the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

“…The most of the functional processes inside the oral cavity are carried out by the tongue, whose presence and description have been showed in different species of fish, demonstrating the variation in the presence of anatomical structures like taste buds, mucous cells and teeth in teleosts, also of commercial interest (Abbate et al., 2006,2017,2020a,2020b; Abbate, Guerrera, Montalbano, Ciriaco, et al., 2012; Abbate, Guerrera, Montalbano, De Carlos, et al., 2012; Alsafy, Bassuoni, & Hanafy, 2018; Amato et al., 2012; Dos Santos, Arantes, Santiago, & Dos Santos, 2015; El Bakary, 2014; Elgendy, Alsafy, & Tanekhy, 2016; Germanà et al., 2009; Guerrera et al., 2015; Ikpegbu, Ibe, & Nlebedum, 2019; Kasumyan, 2019; Kettratad, Senarat, Boonyoung, & Jiraungkoorsku, 2017; Levanti et al., 2017; Mahmoud, Essa, & Sayed, 2016; Sadeghinezhad, Rahmati‐holasoo, Fayyaz, & Zargar, 2015; Sayed, Mahmoud, & Essa, 2019; Yu et al., 2019).
