However, the structural organization of this region remains poorly characterized in many Testudines, including\n                    <jats:italic>Kinosternon scorpioides scorpioides<\/jats:italic>\n                    , therefore, we aim to characterize the morphological aspects of the oropharyngeal cavity of\n                    <jats:italic>K. s. scorpioides<\/jats:italic>\n                    reported using macroscopic descriptions, light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). LM revealed that almost the entire epithelium lining the oropharyngeal cavity of\n                    <jats:italic>K. s. scorpioides<\/jats:italic>\n                    is of the non\u2010keratinized stratified mucous type, containing many mucous cells and numerous mucous glands throughout the lingual epithelium, palate and floor of the mouth, with the exception of the region located near the rhinopharynx, which presented a stratified keratinized squamous epithelial tissue containing taste buds, not observed on the tongue. SEM revealed that the entire epithelium of the oropharyngeal cavity has pores that are likely associated with the mucous glands observed in LM, and the surface of the tongue is covered by voluminous lingual papillae of varying sizes and shapes (filiform and fungiform types), which had cells covered by microvilli and\/or microcysts. No salivary glands were observed. Compared with morphological data from other species, this study indicates that the epithelial structure of the oropharyngeal cavity of\n                    <jats:italic>K. s. scorpioides<\/jats:italic>\n                    is consistent with that observed in other generalist omnivores with semi\u2010aquatic habits, thus corresponding to ecological information about this species.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ar.70372","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,13]],"date-time":"2026-10-13T11:13:06Z","timestamp":1791889986000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Morphological description of the oropharyngeal cavity of\n                    <i>Kinosternon scorpioides scorpioides<\/i>\n                    (Linnaeus, 1766), (Testudines: Kinosternidae)"],"prefix":"10.1002","author":[{"given":"Andr\u00e9a Magalh\u00e3es","family":"Bezerra","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal Rural University of the Amazon (UFRA)  Bel\u00e9m Par\u00e1 Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Diego Ferreira","family":"de Sousa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Postgraduate Program in Animal Health and Production in the Amazon (PPGSPAA) Federal Rural University of the Amazon (UFRA)  Bel\u00e9m Par\u00e1 Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luane","family":"Botelho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of the Par\u00e1 \u2013 UFPA  Bel\u00e9m Par\u00e1 Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andr\u00e9 Lu\u00eds Nogueira","family":"Lima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal Rural University of the Amazon (UFRA)  Bel\u00e9m Par\u00e1 Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8979-9338","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u00c9rika","family":"Branco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal Rural University of the Amazon (UFRA)  Bel\u00e9m Par\u00e1 Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elane Guerreiro","family":"Giese","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal Rural University of the Amazon (UFRA)  Bel\u00e9m Par\u00e1 Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Washington Lu\u00eds","family":"Pereira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal Rural University of the Amazon (UFRA)  Bel\u00e9m Par\u00e1 Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5668-7911","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana Rita","family":"de Lima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal Rural University of the Amazon (UFRA)  Bel\u00e9m Par\u00e1 Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12917-024-04157-x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jemt.24619"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12917-024-03879-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","first-page":"101","article-title":"Morphological, histological and ultrastructural (sem) characterization of the Egyptian tortoise's tongue","volume":"3","author":"Al\u2010Zahaby S.
