“…The mucous produced by Weber's gland provides a slippery substrate to aid in deglutition for the easy swallowing of dry food and to facilitate tongue movement (Nagato et al, 1997). Von Ebner's glands in the sugar glider are tubuloacinar serous glands, with the ductus open to the base of vallate papillae, generally aligning with those in other species including humans (Adel Saad et al, 2020;Goździewska-Harłajczuk et al, 2020;Haddao & Yasear, 2018;H. Okada et al, 2013).…”

“…Furthermore, von Ebner's glands associated with taste receptors have been studied since 1968 in rats and rabbits. Protein secretions, such as amylase and lipase, have been purified previously from the acinar cells of rats (Adel Saad et al, 2020;Hand et al, 1999).…”

A morphological description of the sugar glider's (Petaurus breviceps) tongue was obtained from five individual sugar gliders and analysed under a scanning electron microscope and a light microscope using four methods of staining. The tongue has a noticeably elongated structure with three regions: apex, corpus and radix. Transition to the corpus is indicated by the sulcus medianus linguae and the frenulum on its ventral surface. The dorsal tongue displayed a raised mucous membrane manifesting as a type of papillae. Filiform papillae were differentiated into two subtypes: brushlike papillae, with a short base splitting into 5-6 processes; and flower bud filiform papillae that are shorter and wider than the former, and divided into a single main process and 4-5 secondary processes. Fungiform papillae with 1-2 taste buds are interspersed between filiform papillae and absent on the radix. Conical papillae cover the lateral margin of the corpus and increase in size when closer to the radix. Vallate papillae-three in number-are arranged as a triangular structure, with the middle papillae pointing towards the root of the tongue. A continuous groove wrapped around each papilla with several taste buds is found on its lateral surface. Two of the vallate papillae are located symmetrically on each side and are much smaller than the most caudal middle vallate that is directed posteriorly. A positive reaction using separate staining with periodic acid-Schiff and Alcian blue (pH 2.5) showed Weber's glands and von Ebner's glands appearing beneath the papillae, mainly on the muscle layer of the radix. Different reactions to the stains indicated that Weber's gland contains sialomucin and/or sulfomucin, whereas von Ebner's gland consists of serous cells secreting glycogen and/or neutral mucin. The collagen structure was identified using Masson's trichrome stain in the two bottom layers of the tongue from the apex, decreasing gradually towards the radix.
