Abstract
The present study was aimed to describe the anatomy of the tongue of three postnatal developments in new born and adult rat with compare between the development of lingual papillae in these different ages of development. The tongues taken from six new born and adult rats, each tongue was fixed in the appropriate fixtive for scanning electron microscopic investigation.Scanning electron microscopic observation revealed that the tongue of rat possessed a variety of gustatory papillae including; filiform, fungiform, and circumvallate in new born rats while, there were four types of lingual papillae on the tongue of adult rat. Finally, it is concluded that lingual structure varied between different postnatal developments in the same species.
