Abstract: | Summary In the frog tongue, substance P(SP)-like immunoreactive fibers were consistently present in each fungiform papilla, which contained the gustatory apparatus. Numerous SP-like immunoreactive fibers were usually distributed in the periphery of the gustatory disc and formed a varicose meshwork among the ciliated cells encircling the gustatory disc. SP-like immunoreactive fibers were rarely evident inside the gustatory disc. The role of SP-containing fibers in the frog taste organ was discussed. |
