Boz Irk Sığırlarda Dil Papillalarının Anatomik Yapısının Elektron Mikroskobik İncelenmesi

Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the surface of the papillae in the dorsal and lateral parts of the tongue surface and the features in the non-papillary parts of Turkish Grey. In the study, 7 male Turkish Grey tongues were used. Materials obtained from the apex, corpus and radix lingua of the upper (dorsal) side of the tongue were taken for scanning electron microscopic examinations. The routine procedure was applied for scanning electron micro- scopic images.In the study, the presence of large ruminant tongue papillae, papilla filiformis, papilla fungiformis, papilla conica, papilla lentiformis and papilla vallata, was observed. It was determined that the root part of Papilla filiformes had a depression in the form of a ditch. It was observed that the papilla filiformis at the tip of the tongue had very few secondary papillae. Papilla filiformis in the corpus lingua was found to have 2-4 secondary papillae.On the surface of the papilla fungiformis, cell borders were seen at 2000 magnification, taste pores were detected, and the microridge structure was clearly detected at 10000 magnification. A weak annular pad was seen in the papilla vallata. Cell borders were seen at 2500 magnification on surface images. Taste pores were detected at 5000 magnification. In this study, the tongue papillae of Turkish gray, which is very few in Turkey and resistant to harsh conditions, were examined, and it was aimed to contribute and own the missing literature about tongue papillae.
