The structure and physiological properties of the non-papillary taste organs on the ventral side of frog tongue were examined. The taste organs were distributed around the hyoglossal muscle of the tongue. The total number of organs was estimated as about 100. The fine structure of the taste organs was similar to that of the fungiform papilla. Neural responses recorded from the glossopharyngeal nerve by applying chemical stimuli to the ventral side of the tongue were noticeably smaller than those to the dorsal side of the tongue. The taste cells on the ventral side of the tongue generated receptor potentials to various chemical stimuli like those on the dorsal side of the tongue.
对蛙舌腹侧非乳头味蕾的结构和生理特性进行了研究。味蕾分布在舌的舌骨舌肌周围。估计味蕾总数约为100个。味蕾的精细结构与菌状乳头的相似。通过向舌腹侧施加化学刺激，从舌咽神经记录到的神经反应明显小于向舌背侧施加刺激时的反应。舌腹侧的味觉细胞对各种化学刺激产生的感受器电位与舌背侧的类似。
