| Summary: | <b>Aim:</b> It was aimed to determine the scanning electron misroscopic
structures of the lingual papillae in Karacabey Merino
Sheep in this study.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> Ten male young Karacabey Merino
Sheeps were used. Tissues were received from the dorsal,
ventral and ventro-lateral surfaces of the apex, body and root
of of the tongue. Tissues were examined by scanning elecron
microcopy (SEM).<p>
<b>Results:</b> Filiform, lentiform and conical papillae were observed
three types as mechanical papillae and fungiform and
vallate papillae were observed two types as gustatory papillae
on the tongue in Karacabey Merino Sheep. The filiform
papillae were present on the apex and body of the tongue,
in addition randomly determined lateral surface of the apex.
The conical papillae were round base and had a blunt tip and
these papillae differed from the filiform papillae with their
larger size and absence of the secondary papillae. The fungiform
papillae round in shape and mushroom-like, scattering
among the filiform papillae on the dorsal surface of the
apex, body and the root of the tongue. The lentiform papillae
were determined in two types. While the pyramidal-shaped
type I lentiform papilla had a pointed apex, the round-shaped
type II lentiform papilla had a blunt apex. The vallate papillae
were defined bud ditch and a thick annular pad.<p>
<b>Conclusions:</b> It was determined that Karacabey Merino sheep
linguae were equiped with lots of papillae with different
morphologic features. Lingual papillae of Karacabey Merino
sheep had mechanical function which similar to Jamunapari
goat, Saanen Goat, sheep. |
