The West Indian manatee tongue was examined macroscopically, light microscopically, and electron microscopically (scanning and transmission). The tongue was slender, muscular, and firmly fixed in the oral cavity. Only the cranial tip was free and mobile. Numerous filiform papillae were distributed over the dorsal surface of the rostral lingual region. Caudal to the filiform papillae, multiple raised, round papillae were distributed over the majority of the dorsum. Fungiform papillae were restricted to the lateral margins of the tongue. Caudally, the dorsal and lateral regions showed numerous open fossae and pits. Microscopic examination showed the majority of the lingual dorsum to be covered with a thick stratified squamous epithelium. The caudal dorsal and lateral open pits led to well-developed mucous salivary glands. Foliate papillae, located on the caudal region of the tongue, contained taste buds embedded in the epidermis. Glands within the foliate papillae were mostly mucous, though some seromucous glands were evident. Throughout the tongue, striated muscle was abundant below the epidermis. Blood vessels, lymph channels, and nerve fibers were freely distributed throughout the intermuscular stroma. Nerve fibers reacted positively with neuron specific enolase antibody throughout the lingual structure, including nerve bundles, muscle bundles, glands, and taste buds. Electron microscopy revealed cytoplasmic vacuoles juxtaposed to the nucleus in the stratum spinosum of the foliate papillary region. / Master of Science

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate to what a few preschool teachers and mother-tongue teachers consider the influence mother-tongue training has on children. The thesis also looks into how these teachers cooperate and view about the mother-tongue training organization structure and what support mother-tongue teachers get in the concerned preschools. More specifically: What influences do three preschool teachers and three mother-tongue teachers consider that mother-tongue training has on the development of the children? Which support do the three mother-tongue teachers receive from the preschool principals and other preschool pedagogues in their work? - Is there any cooperation between them? In what way do the three preschool teachers and the three mother-tongue teachers think that the mother-tongue training organization structure affect the children’s status in the group? Method: In order to achieve a deeper understanding of the context, a qualitative method based on interviews and observations was employed and relied upon. Three preschool teachers and three mother-tongue teachers from two different preschools in the same municipality were interviewed to acquire answers to the questions concerned. Result: The result of this enquiry shows a direct and explicit comprehension that mother-tongue is immensely important for children’s development. Mother-tongue teachers believes that they are treated and accepted much better today than in foregone years and that there is better cooperation today between different concerned bodies. The result also indicates that the organization structure of the mother-tongue training can and do sometimes create problems in the child group. The child often does not gain entry to an ongoing activity/play when he/she comes back from mother-tongue training vis-à-vis often he/she is reluctant to leave their playmates and go away for a mother-tongue’s lesson. In order to avoid this problem it is imperative that preschools teachers put in a lot of energy and commitment to avert exclusion from play/activity after mother-tongue training. The interviewed teachers to this thesis claim also that the current organization structure of the mother-tongue training can be seen as division of groups just as much as the other division of groups in the regular organization. Children are used to the continuous division of groups in the preschools. The interviewed teachers are quite content and satisfied with the present organization structure but retain that there are certain areas which needs to be looked into and improved.
