Aspectos histológicos da língua do Jacaré-de-papo-amarelo Caiman latirostris (Daudin, 1802). Revista Brasileira de Medicina Veterinária, 32(3):178-181, 2010. Programa de Pós-graduação em Biologia Animal, Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro. BR 465 km 7. Seropédica, RJ 23890-000, Brasil. Email: claricemachado@yahoo.com.br The aim of this study was to determine the histological features of the tongue of Caiman latirostris. The dorsal region of the tongue showed a keratinized stratified pavement epithelium. This epithelium and the connective tissue formed projections that are distributed on the dorsal surface of the tongue, called papillae lingual, like the filiform papillae. The lamina propria deeply within each papilla, being composed of a dense connective tissue not modeled, lymphoid nodules, blood vessels and nerves. There wasn’t observed the presence of mucous or serous salivary glands. The submucosa was a clearly demarcated region with a large amount of fat tissue and the striated skeletal muscle. The morphology of the tongue in C. latirostris differs from that found in other reptiles by the presence of keratinized epithelium, the presence of filiform papillae and absence taste buds, therefore, perhaps the main function of the tongue is related to assist in chewing and swallowing of food, reflecting a correlation between morphology and conditions of habitat where this animal lives.

O epitélio da região dorsal da língua do C. latirostris é do tipo estratificado pavimentoso queratinizado. Este epitélio de revestimento e o tecido conjuntivo subjacente formam projeções distribuídas na superfície dorsal da língua, denominadas papilas linguais, semelhantes às papilas filiformes. A lâmina própria adentra profundamente em cada papila, sendo composta por um tecido conjuntivo propriamente dito, denso não modelado, nódulos linfóides, vasos sanguíneos e nervos. Não foi observada a presença de glândulas salivares mucosas ou serosas. A submucosa se caracterizou por uma região claramente demarcada com uma grande quantidade de tecido adiposo e músculo estriado esquelético. A morfologia da língua em C. latirostris difere daquela encontrada em outros répteis pela existência do epitélio queratinizado, presença apenas de papilas filiformes e ausência de botões gustativos e, portanto, talvez a função principal da língua esteja relacionada em auxiliar na mastigação e deglutição do alimento, refletindo uma correlação entre morfologia e condições de habitat em que este animal vive.Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro.2010-10-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionpeer reviewedAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://rbmv.org/BJVM/article/view/844Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicine; Vol. 32 No. 3 (2010); 178-181Revista Brasileira de Medicina Veterinária; v. 32 n. 3 (2010); 178-1812527-21790100-2430reponame:Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicineinstname:Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (SOMVERJ)instacron:SBMVporhttps://rbmv.org/BJVM/article/view/844/696Santos, Clarice MachadoZeca, Suelen GuedesFigueiredo, Marcelo AbiduSartori, FabioSales, Armando Armandoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-12-23T17:27:20Zoai:ojs.rbmv.org:article/844Revistahttps://rbmv.org/BJVMONGhttps://rbmv.org/BJVM/oaicontato.rbmv@gmail.com2527-21790100-2430opendoar:2020-12-23T17:27:20Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicine - Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (SOMVERJ)false
