ESTRUCTURA ANATÓMICA E HISTOLÓGICA DE LA LENGUA DEL MURCIÉLAGO FRUGÍVORO CENTURIO SENEX (CHIROPTERA: PHYLLOSTOMIDAE)

The anatomy and histology of the tongue of Centurio senex; a frugivorous bat; were reviewed to look for any special structure associated to its feeding habit; and to compare it with other bat species with different alimentary habits; documented in other manuscripts; The tongue is short and rounded s...

description The anatomy and histology of the tongue of Centurio senex; a frugivorous bat; were reviewed to look for any special structure associated to its feeding habit; and to compare it with other bat species with different alimentary habits; documented in other manuscripts; The tongue is short and rounded shape; on its surface there are numerous short single-pointed papillae on the first half; and large papillae at the middle of the surface; near the tip there is a small group of bicuspid papillae; fungiform and circumvallate papillae are absent; Histologically at the part of the tongue; there is a septum with one symmetrical pair of veins; arteries; and nerves at both sides of it; this particular arrangement indicates the intraoral use of this tongue; There are some lymphatic vessels among the muscle fibers; which are the first record of this kind of structures in the tongues of bats; also lymphatic nodules were found similar of those present in Balantiopteryx plicata; The large single-pointed papillae and the lymphatic vessels and nodules are the only specialized structures found in this bat species.

Se analizó la estructura anatómica e histológica de la lengua del murciélago frugívoro Centurio senex; y se comparó con la descrita para otras especies de quirópteros; para conocer si existen estructuras particulares que pudieran estar asociadas a su tipo de alimentación; La lengua de este murciélago es corta; redondeada y posee numerosas papilas filiformes unicúspides; las cortas se ubican en la parte anterior y las largas en la parte media; y cercano a la punta se encuentran pequeñas papilas filiformes con ápice bicúspide; carece de papilas fungiformes y circunvaladas; A nivel histológico; en la parte de la lengua hay un septo fibroso vertical y a ambos lados de él; vasos sanguíneos y nervios en posición simétrica; este arreglo indica que la lengua tiene función intraoral; Entre las fibras musculares estriadas de la parte posterior hay algunos vasos linfáticos; siendo éste el primer registro de la presencia de dichas estructuras en lenguas de murciélagos; también se encontraron nódulos linfoides como en Balantiopteryx plicata y Noctilio leporinus; Las papilas filiformes alargadas y los vasos linfáticos son las únicas estructuras especiales encontradas en Centurio senex.
