The structure of goat uvula was observed and analysed by conventional paraffin section, H.E staining and Toluidine blue staining, and compared to that of human uvula. The results showed that goat uvula goat was mainly consisted of mucosa and submucosa. The mucosa was lined by a non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium, and beneath the epithelium was lamina propria. There were large mucous glands, elastic cartilage, skeletal muscle and fat tissue in the submucosa. Muscle and fat tissues were mainly distributed at the root 2/3 of oral surface in the uvula. Compared to the human uvula, goat uvula had almost the same structure but contained elastic cartilage.
