Abstract

Examination of the structural and functional organization of tactile receptor structures in the rat tongue shows that the filiform mechanosensory papillae occupying the anterior free surface of the tongue are innervated by adrenergic, cholinergic, and peptidergic fibers. The location and sources of histamine are identified. All these components are thought to be involved in organizing the pain sensitivity of mechanosensory lingual formations.
