摘要:The present study was carried out to investigate the structure of the sublingual caruncles of the goat. Specimens were studied by gross anatomy, morphometery, light and scanning electron microscopy. Results show that the sublingual floor of the oral cavity consisted of a rostral prefrenular part and two lateral sublingual recesses. The sublingual caruncles had a rostrolaterally directed serrated border, this border divided into three papillae differ in shape and direction. At higher magnification, the surface of sublingual caruncle showed two patterns of microplicae. This study provides a baseline data for clinical studies, this is the first study provide detailed structure of the sublingual caruncle of goat.
