The structure and occurrence of nerve fibres and nerve terminals in the lingual marginal papillae of newborn piglets are investigated by means of the osmium-zinc-iodate method and by transmission-electron microscopy. Subepithelial nerve fibres primarily accompany the blood vessels. They cross the epithelium with an almost vertical course to terminate in the stratum superficiale or the stratum corneum. Due to rows of varicosities, the axons look like a 'string of pearls'. As a result of the superficial localization and the typical ultrastructure, they seem to have a sensory function. Therefore, the papillae marginales are considered to function as mechanoreceptors.
