Abstract

The study was conducted on tongues of 36 buffalo foetii. The fungiform papillae were observed as semicircular dome shaped eminences, formed as a result of epithelial thickening at 10.7 cm CVR length. Taste buds comprising of neuroepithelial, sustentacular and basal cells were detected on the apical surface of fungiform papillae present on the torus area at 45.0 cm CVR length (175 days). It was concluded from the study that the development of fungiform papillae and taste buds proceed caudo-cranially.
