The histology and the ultrastructure of the dorsal lingual epithelium of the Japanese lizard, Takydromus tachydromoides, were investigated by light and transmission electron microscopy. The epithelium of the anterior and middle portions of the tongue showed "orthokeratinization," being composed of a thick layer of keratinized cells. The epithelium of the posterior portion of the tongue showed "parakeratinization" and "nonkeratinization." Most of the nonkeratinized cells contained large numbers of secretory granules.
通过光学显微镜和透射电子显微镜对日本蜥蜴（草绿龙蜥）舌背上皮的组织学和超微结构进行了研究。舌前部和中部的上皮呈现“正角化”，由一层厚厚的角质化细胞组成。舌后部的上皮呈现“不全角化”和“非角化”。大多数非角化细胞含有大量分泌颗粒。
