This study aimed to investigate the development of tongue papillae in young (lamb) and adult (ram) Hamdani sheep (\n                    <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">\n                      <jats:italic>Ovis aries<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:styled-content>\n                    ) by comparing light and electron microscopic features and morphometric characteristics. Tongue tissues of 7 crossbred Hamdani lambs aged 4\u20136\u2009months and 7 rams aged 1\u20132\u2009years were used in the study. Tongues were evaluated macroscopically and morphometrically, and light microscopic and scanning electron microscopic descriptions were also performed. In addition to light microscopic identification, parameters such as papillae height, papillae width, epithelial height, and stratum corneum thickness were measured. The morphometric and histometric data were evaluated statistically. The results demonstrated age\u2010related statistical differences in the number of fungiform and vallate papillae (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.05). In rams, epithelial and papilla heights were higher for all papilla types, indicating that tongue tissue develops with age. The higher number of taste papillae in lambs suggests better taste perception in young animals, whereas the increased stratum corneum on filiform papillae in rams indicates more intensive use of the tongue during food intake. In conclusion, tongue papilla morphology shows age\u2010related variations, with both lambs and rams exhibiting distinct morphological features across different papilla types.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/ahe.70068","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,19]],"date-time":"2025-11-19T09:34:26Z","timestamp":1763544866000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Comparative Investigation of the Morphological Structure of the Tongue in Lambs and Rams: A Macroscopic, Morphometric Light and Scanning Electron Microscopic Study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"54","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6110-1302","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fatma","family":"\u0130\u015fbilir","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Siirt University  Siirt Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7821-2180","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Banu","family":"Kandil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Histology and Embryology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Siirt University  Siirt Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6906-5695","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u0130hsan","family":"\u0130\u015fbilir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Siirt University  Siirt Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-3139-1453","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muhammed Zahid","family":"Atl\u0131","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Siirt University  Siirt Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2504-120X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bar\u0131\u015f Can","family":"G\u00fczel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Siirt University  Siirt Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ahe.12880"},{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","first-page":"635","article-title":"Morphology of the Dorsal Lingual Papillae in the Lesser Mouse Deer, Tragulus javanicus","volume":"187","author":"Agungpriyono S.","year":"1995","journal-title":"Journal of Anatomy"},{"issue":"04","key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","first-page":"4218","article-title":"Comparative Morpho\u2010Histological Studies of Tongue Papillae in the Pre\u2010Pubertal and Adult Stages of Awassi Sheep (Ovis ovis)","volume":"12","author":"Al\u2010bazii S.
