AB  - The present work was carried out to describe morphological features of the tongue 
      and laryngeal entrance of the Common pheasantPhasianus colchicus, using light and 
      scanning electron microscopy. The lingual apex was taper-shaped with a shallow 
      median sulcus. A V-shaped papillary crest with 15-20 caudally directed conical 
      papillae was located between the radix and corpus linguae. The second row of 
      papillae consisting of three caudolaterally directed conical papillae was 
      arranged caudal to the main papillary crest. The mons laryngealis was equipped 
      caudally with a double-layer of large conical papillae as pharyngeal crest, and 
      few small conical papillae were seen around the glottis. Scanning electron 
      microscope (SEM) observation showed that the apex linguae and corpus were covered 
      with compact filiform papillae, while the radix linguae were free of papillae. 
      Numerous openings of salivary gland can be seen on the radix linguae and mons 
      laryngealis at higher magnification. On histological sections, all parts of the 
      tongue and mons laryngealis were covered with a keratinised stratified squamous 
      epithelium. The keratinised layer became thinner rostro-caudally. The simple 
      alveolar salivary glands were distributed in the submucosa from the apex linguae 
      to the radix linguae as well as the mons laryngealis. PAS staining revealed 
      mucin-secreting activity of this glands. According to the findings, although the 
      tongue and laryngeal entrance of the Common pheasant is characteristics of a 
      galliform bird, it has some features similar to passeriformes and falconiformes.
