The tongue of the Japanese quail showed great plasticity in morphology, histology and function. Although little literature spoke in details about the developmental anatomy of the Japanese quail tongue and its attachment during embryogenesis and the post\u2010hatching period, our data were carried out on 85 healthy random specimens arranged on 45 Japanese quail embryos with ages from the 5th day of incubation to hatching day old and 40 quail chicks with the age of 7, 14, 30 and 60\u2009days old. Those investigations found that the primordium of the tongue arose from the oropharyngeal floor primordium as a clear elongated projection supported by basihyale at the 5th and 6th days old of the embryonated egg. The tongue primordium was attached by a thin layer of epithelium (frenulum linguae primordium). With age advancing, the tongue took different shapes, starting from a \u2018U\u2019 shape to a triangular elongated shape. Consequently, its parts were fully developed into a lingual apex that was supported by the paraglossale apical process and paraglossale corpus and the lingual body supported by both the posterior part of paraglossale and basihyale. Besides that, (ala linguae) primordia became more prominent as two oval projections with caudal serrated borders at the 10\u2010day\u2010old embryo which were supported by posterior processes of os paraglossale. But at 13\u2009days old, the transverse papillary crest primordium began to appear, which consisted of caudally directed finger\u2010like papillae. Those papillae were developmentally variable in number, shape and length. The lingual muscle primordia could be noticed: ceratoglossus, hypoglossus anterior and genioglossus muscles at 5, 6 and 7\u2009days old of incubation, respectively. However, the genioglossus muscle showed a degenerative process at the 11\u2010day\u2010old embryo. Lingual glands were compound tubular and tubulo\u2010alveolar end pieces, which its primordia appeared at the 7 and 8\u2010day\u2010old embryo. Histochemically, the glands showed different reactions to AB and PAS, and combined stains, which the developmental stains reaction ended with a slightly alcinophilic reaction.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/ahe.70083","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,17]],"date-time":"2026-01-17T11:54:45Z","timestamp":1768650885000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Developmental Morphological and Histochemical Studies of the Tongue in Japanese Quails (\n                    <i>Coturnix\u00a0japonica<\/i>\n                    )"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"55","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3515-1063","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mahmoud Osman","family":"Khalifa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy and Embryology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Aswan University  Aswan Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wafaa","family":"Gaber","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy and Embryology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Assiut University  Assiut Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6658-0261","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abdelmohaimen Mostafa","family":"Saleh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy and Embryology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Assiut University  Assiut Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,17]]},"reference":[{"issue":"84","key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","first-page":"77","article-title":"Some Morphological Studies on the Tongue of the Turkey","volume":"42","author":"Abd El\u2010Fatah M.
