Dog tongue tissue, light micrograph
Dog tongue tissue. Light micrograph of a transverse section through the tongue of a dog, showing the tongues surface (across top). This area of the tongue shows fungiform papillae (rounded protrusions), which bear a few taste buds that are sunk into the stratified epithelium of the tongue. Below the papillae of the epithelium are striated muscle blocks arranged in vertical, transverse and longitudinal sections, as well as scattered lingual (tongue) glands. Magnification: x36 when printed at 10 centimetres across

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a dog's tongue tissue under a light microscope. The transverse section reveals the surface of the tongue, with its fascinating features prominently displayed. At first glance, one cannot help but notice the rounded protrusions known as fungiform papillae that cover this area of the tongue. These papillae are home to a few taste buds, which are embedded within the stratified epithelium. Delving deeper into this micrograph, we discover more wonders hidden beneath these papillae. Striated muscle blocks can be observed arranged in vertical, transverse, and longitudinal sections throughout the epithelium. Additionally, scattered lingual glands are dispersed among these muscle blocks. The magnification level used for this print is x36 when printed at 10 centimeters across. This allows us to appreciate every minute detail and gain insight into the anatomy and biology of canine tongues. Overall, this image provides an intriguing glimpse into both sensory perception and biological structures present in dogs' tongues. It serves as a reminder of how complex and remarkable nature can be on even the smallest scale.
