Sažetak
The aim of this study was to investigate the light and scanning electron microscopic structure of filiform papillae in adult mice. Light microscopic examination revealed that the papillae were covered with stratified squamous epithelium and had a core of connective tissue. Filiform papillae were observed on the dorsal surface of the tongue, located between the apex of the tongue and the vallate papillae. Three different types of filiform papillae were observed in three different areas: cylindrical in the anterior part of the tongue, large conical on the intermolar eminence, and small conical in front of the vallate papilla in the posterior part of the tongue. In scanning electron microscopic examination, epithelial cell-margin thickening was recognizable. Micropits and microridges were observed on the surface of the epithelial cells of the filiform papillae.
