Abstract
Merkel-neurite complexes in tongues of Japanese and cynomolgus monkeys were examined by means of light and electron microscopy. Merkel-neurite complexes were found preferentially in the epithelium of fungiform papillae located at the tip of the tongue. It appears that the anterior fungiform papillae of the monkey are highly adapted for both taste and mechanical sensation.Entities:
