“…This is similar to the results of studies conducted on C. brachiotis (Emura et al, 2001) Emura et al, 2012;Jackowiak et al, 2009), and to studies on other mammals such as the marsupial Acrobates pygmeus (Jackowiak & Godynicki, 2007), rodents (Kubota & Togawa, 1966), primates and lagomorphs (Kubota, 1966). Based on structural morphology, the three oval circumvallate papillae consisted of an ovoid central bulb surrounded by a continuous deep groove, as mentioned by Abumandour and El-Bakary (2013), Ciuccio, Estecondo, and Casanave (2010), and Nasr et al (2012).…”

This study was carried on the tongues of ten normal, healthy and adult fruit bats (Rousettus amplexicaudatus, also known as the nyap biasa bat) in Yogyakarta, Java Island, Indonesia. The tongue was protrusible, elongated and flat with a rounded apex, and its width and thickness increased gradually towards to lingual root. There were two main types of lingual papillae, mechanical (filiform) and gustatory (fungiform and circumvallate). The tongue was divided into three parts (apex, corpus and radix), and then, each part was subdivided into three regions (two lateral regions and a median region). There were six subtypes of the filiform papillae—three types on the anterior part (small, scale‐like and giant), one type on the middle part (leaf‐like papillae) and two types on the posterior part (rosette‐shaped filiform and conical filiform papillae)—in addition to transitional papillae presented on the corpus and radix. Two types of gustatory papillae were represented by a small number of fungiform papillae that are scattered among the filiform papillae on the lingual apex and corpus, while three circumvallate papillae on the posterior part are arranged in a “V” shape pointing directly at the larynx.

“…Th e fi liform papillae found in the present study were similar to those reported in Dasypus hybridus (Ciuccio et al, 2010), mice (Toprak, 2006) and the Persian squirrel (Goodarzi, 2014) due to its bifurcated tip. Four diff erent types of fi liform papillae (thread-like, single, bifurcated and short conical) on diff erent region of the tongue were described by Sabry et al, (2015) in Erinaceous auritus.…”

The morphology and histological structure of two adult Brandt’s hedgehog, Paraechinus hypomelas, (Brandt, 1836) tongue were examined by light and scanning electron microscopy. On the dorsal surface of the tongue, three types of papillae were observed: filiform, fungiform and vallate papillae. Apex and corpus of the tongue as well as the lateral surface of the corpus were covered with numerous filiform papillae with bifurcated tip, while the epithelium lining the ventral lingual surface was free from papillae. Discoid shape fungiform papillae were scattered over the entire surface of the lingual apex, corpus and lateral surface uniformly between the filiform ones without regional variation in number and size. Three elliptical or oval vallate papillae in an inverted triangle form were found on the root of the tongue. Each papilla had a lobulated and very irregular dorsal surface. Both fungiform and vallate papillae contain taste buds. The foliate papillae was absent. Overall, the present findings reveal that despite some similarities, the lingual papillae of the Brandt’s hedgehog as an omnivore animal has spices-specific characteristics compare to the Erinaceous auritus as an insectivore species. This finding provides a set of basic data about the morphology of tongue and its lingual papillae in Brandt’s hedgehog.

2012Macroscopic and microscopic analysis of the tongue of the common opossum (Didelphis marsupialis) MICROSCOPY RESEARCH AND TECHNIQUE, HOBOKEN, v. 75, n. 10, pp. 1329-1333 ABSTRACTWe performed a macroscopic and microscopic study of the tongues of common opossums, Didelphis marsupialis, from South America. We studied two males and two females. We collected morphometric data on the tongue with precision calipers. For the light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy analyses, we fixed tissue fragments in 10% formaldehyde and 2.5% glutaraldehyde, respectively. The opossum tongues averaged 5.87 6 0.20 cm in length, 3.27 6 0.15 cm in width at the lingual body, and 3.82 6 0.15 cm in width at the root. The mean thickness of the lingual body was 1.8 6 0.1 cm, and the thickness of the root was 3.82 6 0.15 cm. Sharp filiform papillae were scattered across the entire tongue; conical filiform papillae occurred on the lingual body and tongue tip; fungiform papillae were scattered among the filiform papillae on the lingual body and tongue tip; and there were three vallate papillae at the root of the tongue. We found two strands of papillary projections in the tongue root. Despite the low variability observed in the lingual papillae, the morphological data obtained in this study may be related to the opossum's diverse food habits and the extensive geographic distribution of the species throughout America.
