“…The fungiform papillae were more densely distributed on the tip and ventral surface of the lingual apex in Japanese serow, Formosan serow, blackbuck and Barbary sheep, and the papillae were smaller than that of the body (Funato et al, 1985;Atoji et al, 1998;Emura et al, 1999Emura et al, , 2000a. These reports coincide with the findings on the roan antelope.…”

“…Atoji et al (1998) observed filiform papillae and conical papillae, and reported that the filiform papillae have secondary papillae in the Formosan serow. Emura et al (1999Emura et al ( , 2000a) also observed similar filiform papillae in the blackbuck and Barbary sheep.…”

“…In the order Artiodactyla, there have been many scanning electron microscopic (SEM) studies of the tongues of cows (Steflik et al, 1983;Camorro, 1986), serows (Funato et al, 1985;Atoji et al, 1998), one humped camels (Qayyum et al, 1988), buffalos (Scala et al, 1993), lesser mouse deer (Agungpriyono et al, 1995), blackbuck (Emura et al, 1999), Barbary sheep (Emura et al, 2000a), Bactrian camels (Eerdunchaolu et al, 2001) and hippopotamuses (Yoshimura et al, 2009). Such studies reveal variations in morphology and distribution of papillae on the dorsal lingual surface among animal species.…”

Summary:We examined the dorsal lingual surfaces of an adult roan antelope (Hippotragus equinus) by scanning electron microscopy. Filiform, fungiform and vallate papillae were observed. The filiform papillae consisted of a larger main papilla and smaller secondary papillae. A top of the connective tissue core of the filiform papilla showed several depressions. The connective tissue core of the papilla with a long process was rarely observed. The fungiform papillae were round in shape. The connective tissue core of the fungiform papilla was flower-bud shaped. The lenticular papillae of large size were limited on the torus lingua. The connective tissue core of the lenticular papilla consisted of numerous small spines. The vallate papillae were located on both sides of the posterolateral aspects. The vallate papillae were flattened oval shaped and the papillae are surrounded by circular trench. The connective tissue core of the vallate papilla was covered with numerous small spines.

“…Extensive morphologic research has also been presented on the filiform papillae in other ruminant species and breeds, including Formosan serows (Atoji et al, 1998), Blackbucks (Emura et al, 1999), Barbary sheep (Emura et al, 2000), Saanen goats (Kurtul & Atalgın, 2008), goitered gazelles (Harem et al, 2011), chital deer (Erdogan & Pérez, 2014), giraffes (Emura et al, 2013), one-humped camels (El Sharaby et al, 2012), and Bactrian camels (Eerdunchaolu et al, 2001). These previous works have reported on the orientations, distributions, appearances, ultrastructures and functions of such papillae.…”

Morphologic Effects of Filiform Papilla Root on the Lingual Mechanical Functions of Chinese Yellow Cattle

SUMMARY:The morphology of filiform papilla root in the tongue of Chinese yellow cattle were studied by scanning electron microscopy, and several geometric models were established to analyze the possible effects of such structures on lingual mechanical functions. Conical and tongue-like filiform papillae were detected in different locations on the lingual surface, along with six types of root structures. A lingual groove surrounded the papillae in five of these structures. To date, such grooves have not been discussed in studies on bovine lingual morphology, and those distributed on the dorsal surface of the lingual apex can limit the motion ranges of filiform papillae. Two secondary papillae emerged from a groove on the dorsal surface of the lingual apex's caudal half; these papillae can protect a filiform papilla root from damage. The grooves and the flat orientation of such papillae on the dorsal surface of the lingual body can reduce energy expenditure during forage transportation. A lingual rib that can strengthen the filiform papilla root emerged from a groove on the dorsal surface of the rostral half of the lingual body. On the dorsal surface of the lingual body's caudal half, all filiform papillae emerged from a groove to form low lingual walls that can protect the roots from being crushed by forage. High lingual walls were generated on the lateral surface of the lingual apex; these walls enable filiform papillae to adapt to harsh food environments effectively. The root structures on the lingual body's lateral surface were adequately simple and did not exhibit lingual grooves; thus, hydraulic resistance may decrease during mastication. Diverse root structures can optimize the lingual mechanical functions and improve self-protection capability in combination with the appearance and distributions of these papillae. All the aforementioned features may be the result of environmental adaption and cattle evolution.

“…The types of lingual papillae and their distribution have been widely investigated by scanning electron microscopy in various species, including the horse [4], chital deer [6], cattle [7][8][9], serow [10,11], buffalo [12], Saanen goat [13], camel [14], roan antelope [15], and donkey [16].…”

Scanning Electron Microscopic Studies of the Lingual Papillae in the English Horse

The purpose of this study was to describe the distribution and surface structure of the lingual papillary system in four male adult English horses by scanning electron microscopy. The animals were supplied from the Jockey Club of Turkey (TJK). Tissue samples were taken from the dorsal, ventral and lateral surface of the apex, corpus and radix of the tongue. Filiform papillae were distributed mainly on the dorsum, being abundant, very long and with a slim cylindrical form with pointed endings or multi-bifurcated terminations at the apex. These papillae were typically conical in shape with a wider base in the corpus of the lingua and absent on the radix of the lingua. Fungiform papillae were mainly on the lateral surfaces and lobulated forms were also observed. The horses have two large vallate papillae, located on the dorsum close to the caudal part of the tongue. These papillae were surrounded by a prominent gustatory groove. The vallate papillae had many taste pores opening into the papillary groove. The foliate papillae were observed just rostral to the palatoglossal arches. These papillae have many variable sized taste pores which open into the grooves between the papillary leaves. The papillary leaves were covered with concentrically arranged cornifi ed cells of variable appearance. However, there were no lingual papillae on the ventral aspect of the horse's tongue.
