Ultrastructural Study on Degeneration and Regeneration of Taste Buds of Rabbit Fungiform Papillae after Denervation and following Microsurgical Reinnervation of Sensory Nerves

epithelium and mechanosensery endings, and of encapsulated corpuscles and Ruffini-like endings in the connective tissue of the fungiform papillae suggested that the fungiform papillae of the rabbit were highly adapted to both taste and mechanical sensation. The fungiform papillae were examined by light and electron microscopy from 1 week to 6 months after denervation followed by microsurgical reinnervation of both chorda tympani and lingual nerves. Further, these results were compared with those of
