Summary Morphostructural characteristics of lingual papillae in buffalos The morphostructural characteristics of lingual papillae in 30 adult buffalos were studied by SEM. In this species, dorsal lingual surface papillae shos different shape so that their classification is complicated. Topography and morphology of conical and vallate papillae presents significant aspects. Particularly, the conical papillae have a different morphological organization when they are localized over the side of the tongue apex or over dorso‐lateral tract of the tongue body. The functional aspects are discussed.
