The histological structure of the tongue is comparatively simple in which a mass of striated skeletal type muscle is covered by stratified epithelium. Many researches which have been done are chiefly concerned with the epithelial changes in relation to disease. The mucous membrane of the tongue shows reactive changes for general trophic and metabolic disturbance1-4), and they appear to be the initial symptoms of internal disease5). Thus, it has been thought that the tongue is a mirror of generalized disease. Histological studies concerning ageing of the tongue have also been made, and although most of these were concerned with epithelial changes, there is still little reliable information on the quantitative changes of other histological constituents of the tongue. Accordingly, the intent of this study was to assess the quantitative changes of all the histological constituents of the human tongue in relation to ageing.
