2009年1月1日 · Four of pangolin (Manis javanica) carcasses from Khao Pratub-Chang Wildlife Breeding Center in Ratchaburi Province were dissected to study tongue anatomy. Pangolins are toothless mammals...

African pangolins exhibit many interesting anatomical specializations. The forelimbs are pronograde and well adapted for tearing apart termite nests; the arboreal species possesses a terminal caudal sensory pad containing many Pacinian corpuscles. Such morphological adaptations and those of the tongue. anteating.

2019年4月1日 · Using a combination of diffusible iodine contrast-enhanced computed tomography (diceCT), 3D modeling, and 3D muscle tractography approaches we investigated the muscle architecture of the hyolingual apparatus of one specimen of white-bellied pangolins (Phataginis tricuspis). We show that the tongues of pangolins are composed of bony xiphisternal ...

1973年12月14日 · The tongue, together with its associated structures, was studiedin two species of African pangolins, Manis gigantea and M. tricuspis. Observations were made on living animals, and anatomical studies were made on seven adults.

The gross anatomy, morphometric and histol-ogy of the tongue and dentition were studied in African hedgehogs and pangolins. In this study, eight hedgehogs and six pangolins were used. The average body weight and body length of hedgehogs and pangolins were 210.00 ± 11.03 g, 15.80 ± 0.09 cm and 1449.42 ± 220.15 g, 115.75 ± 6.75 cm, respectively.

In most mammals, the tongue is anchored to the hyoid bone, mandible, and basicranium by extrinsic lingual muscles. In the pangolin, the tongue has completely lost its attachment to the hyoid bone. The pangolin's tongue be-comes extremely elongated with a new at-tachment to the elongated xiphoid process of the sternum (Fig. 1). The tongue ...

Four of pangolin (Manis javanica) carcasses from Khao Pratub-Chang Wildlife Breeding Center in Ratchaburi Province were dissected to study tongue anatomy. Pangolins are toothless mammals with long tongue coated with sticky saliva for catching ants and termites and taking to their mouth.

Macroscopic and microscopic anatomy of pangolin's tongue (Manis javanica). Four of pangolin carcasses from Khao Pratub-Chang Wildlife Breeding Center in Ratchaburi Province were dissected to study tongue anatomy and the muscular blood vessel and nerve trunk were found at each side of the tongue.
