Email: [email protected] Summary This study was made on 24 camel fetuses of crown-rump vertebral length (CVRL) ranging from 10.5 cm to 105 cm CVRL (94–352 days old). These camel fetuses were classified into three groups representing the three trimesters of prenatal life. During the first trimester (94–142 days), lingual papillae (circumvallate and lentiform papillae) were demonstrated on the lingual root, but lingual body and the apex were almost free of papillae except for some scattered epithelial projections especially near the lateral borders of the body. In the second trimester (152–229 days), the lentiform papillae covered the entire root of the tongue except for areas occupied by the circumvallate papillae. Taste buds with clear pores were observed for the first time in areas between the circumvallate gustatory furrow and surface epithelium of the tongue. In addition, short numerous filiform papillae were observed on the rostral part of the lingual body and the lateral parts of the apex. Fungiform papillae, however, were demonstrated amidst the filiform papillae. In this trimester, taste buds were also seen on the top of the fungiform papillae. In the third trimester (256–352 days), all lingual papillae were clearly demonstrated on the dorsum of the root, body and apex of the tongue. Both types of gustatory papillae (circumvallate and fungiform) had well-developed taste buds. Mechanical papillae (filiform and lentiform) were well developed. Lentiform pa- pillae occupied most of the dorsal aspect of the Torus linguae; they were larger in size with semicircular apices. Filiform papillae, however, were numerous and demonstrated heavily on the lateral and rostral parts of the body as well as on the apex of the tongue. 1 | INTRODUCTION Camelus dromedarius (one-humped camel) is among the largest mam- malian species, lives in regions with high temperature and dry climate and fed on thorny plants with rough and hard stems (Bello et al., 2012, 2015). The camel’s mouth is very sturdy and has developed a special feature to maintain efficient feeding on these plants (Sui, Su, & Chen, 1983). The tongue is a muscular organ covered by mucous membrane with a number of salivary glands and nerves embedded in between the muscle tissues. On the dorsal surface of the tongue, the lingual mucosa was thrown into projections called the lingual papil- lae (Dyce, Sack, & Wensing, 1996; Sisson & Grossman, 1975). The lingual papillae fulfil diverse functions during food intake, transport and swallowing (Abbate et al., 2008; Skieresz-Szewczyk & Jackowiak, 2017). The lingual papillae in camels, like other mammalian species, were classified into mechanical and gustatory papillae. Mechanical papillae, as previously described, include filiform, lentiform, conical and wart-like papillae (Qayyum, Fatani, & Mohajir, 1988). Gustatory papillae with taste buds are fungiform and circumvallate (Erdunchaolu et al., 2001; Qayyum et al., 1988; Salehi et al., 2010). Foliate gusta- tory papillae demonstrated in other vertebrates (Abbate et al., 2009, 2010; Abd-Elnaeim, Zayed, & Leiser, 2002) have not been described in the one-humped camel (Dyce et al., 1996).The morphogenesis of the tongue and its papillae was investigated in various mammals such as mouse (Iwasaki, Okumura, & Kumakura, 1999; Iwasaki, Yoshizawa, & Kawahara, 1996), goats (Shawulu, Kwari, & Abgyal, 2012), human

This study was made on 24 camel fetuses of CVRL ranging from10.5cmCVRLto105cmCVRL.Theageof the fetuseswascalcu-latedusing theequation:Age=(CVRL+23.99)/0.366according toElwishy,Hemeida,Omar,Mobarak,andElSayed (1981).Camel fe-tuseswere collected fromCairo Slaughter house; then, theywereclassifiedintothreegroupsrepresentingthethreetrimestersofpre-natal life; ten in the first, nine in the second and five in the thirdtrimester.Fetuses in the first trimester rangedfrom10.5 to28cmCVRL(94–142days),inthesecondtrimesterfrom32to60cmCVRL(152–229days)whileinthethirdtrimestertheyrangedfrom70to105cmCVRL(256–352days).Afterinvestigationofthegrossmor-phologyofthewholetongue,smallpiecesofthelingualmucosaandunderlying lingual tissue in the root, body and apexof the tongueweretakenandprocessedforlightandscanningelectronmicroscopy.Forlightmicroscopy,smalltissueblockswerefixedinneutralbufferformalin, washed under tap water, dehydrated in graded ethanol,clearedinmethylbenzoateandembeddedinparaffinwax.Three-to
