plica fimbriata การใช้

• The plica fimbriata is highly developed and specialized in lemurs, and makes up the majority of the sublingua.
• Marsupials such as opossums and the common brushtail possum have also developed noticeable sublingua with a plica mediana and a less specialized, but conspicuous, plica fimbriata.
• These free-moving folds or filaments are called the plica fimbriata and attach to the base of the sublingua and are supported at the midline by the plica mediana.
• In lemuriforms, the sublingua mostly consists of two plicae fimbriatae ( singular : plica fimbriata ), which run along the sides of the plica mediana and end in comb-like serrated edges that are hardened with keratin.
