Origem e ramificação do tronco braquiocefálico e artéria subclávia em gansos domésticos (Anser domestica)

Estudou-se, mediante dissecação, a origem e a ramificação dos ramos do tronco braquiocefálico em 30 gansos adultos (Anser domestica), 21 machos e 09 fêmeas. Os animais, após eutanásia, foram injetados, na artéria isquiática direita, com solução de neoprene látex corado e fixados em solução aquosa de formalina 10%. Os troncos braquiocefálicos, direito e esquerdo, originam-se na aorta, logo após a emergência desta, no átrio esquerdo e, dividem-se nas artérias subclávia e carótida comum homônimas. As artérias subclávias emitiram em todos os espécimes, em ambos os antímeros, as artérias esternoclaviculares, axilares e torácicas internas e os troncos peitorais e de forma inconstante as artérias esternoclaviculares acessórias e os ramos pericárdicos. As artérias esternoclaviculares surgiram no antímero direito em 27 (90,0% ± 6,0) e no antímero esquerdo em 25 animais (83,3% ± 7,5). Encontrou-se ramos pericárdicos em 7 animais (23,3% ± 8,5) no antímero direito, em 11 animais (36,7% ± 9,6) no antímero esquerdo e em 4 animais (13,3% ± 6,8) em ambos os antímeros. O tronco peitoral era o ramo terminal da artéria subclávia e dividiu-se nas artérias peitorais cranial e caudal. Não se observou diferenças significativas entre machos e fêmeas quando ao padrão vascular dos dados analisados.It was studied the origin and the ramification of the branches from brachiocephalic trunk in 30 goose (Anser domestica), adults 21 males and 09 females. The animals, after sacrifice, were injected in the squiatic artery with latex Neoprene solution and fixed in formalin 10% aqueous solution. The brachiocephalic trunks, right and left, arise from aorta, after its emergency in left atria and divided in right and left subclavian and common carotid arteries. The subclavian arteries originated constantly, in both antimeres, the sternoclavicularis, axilar and internal thoracic arteries and the pectoral trunks and inconstantly the accessory esternoclavicularis artery and the pericardium branches. The sternoclavicularis artery arises in the right antimere in 27 (90,0% ± 6,0) and in the left antimere in 25 animals (83,3% ± 7,5). There were the pericardium branches in 7 animals (23,3% ± 8,5) in right antimere, in 11 animals (36,7% ± 9,6) in left antimere and in 4 animals (13,3% ± 6,8) in both sides. The pectoral trunk is a terminal branch from subclavian artery and divided in cranial and caudal pectoral arteries. It weren't observed significant differences between males and females in vascular pattern of the data analyzed

Morphology and biometry of the thymus in ostrich (Sthruthio camelus)

This work studied the anatomy of the thymus in 30 young ostriches (13 males and 17 females, 10 to 20 days old) that were fixed in an aqueous solution of 10% formaldehyde. Chains of thymic lobes, arranged linearly and parallel, were located in the third distal part of the ventral region of the neck from the eleventh to the fifteenth cervical vertebra, which relates to the vagus nerve and jugular vein. The number of lobes varied from 1 to 3 and 1 to 2 in the right and left antimeres, respectively. In the right antimere, the average dimensions of the lobes were 2.09 × 0.71 × 0.41 cm for the cranial lobe, 0.69 × 0.38 × 0.27 cm for the middle lobe and 55 × 0.33 × 0.29 cm for the caudal lobe. In the left antimere, the average dimensions were 2.14 × 0.71 × 0.37 cm for the cranial lobe and 0.60 × 0.31 × 0.22 cm for the caudal lobe. The morphology and thymus biometrics showed well-defined traits, having common attributes, such as holotopy, skelotopy, syntopy and idiotopy, which characterized the species of this study

Origin and distribution of the ischiatic nerve in mixed-breed sheep

O presente trabalho estudou, por meio de dissecações, a origem e distribuição do nervo isquiático em 30 fetos de ovinos (Ovis aries) sem raça definida, machos ou fêmeas, obtidos de abortos, natimortos e mortes naturais de fêmeas gestantes de núcleos criatórios na região do Triângulo Mineiro, estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Injetou-se formaldeído a 10% por meio de canulação da aorta descendente torácica e, posteriormente, o material foi mantido submerso na referida solução por um período mínimo de 48 horas antes do início das dissecações. O nervo isquiático originou-se do ramo ventral do último nervo espinhal lombar, ora do sexto nervo espinhal lombar (L6), ora do sétimo (L7), quando presente, e dos ramos ventrais dos primeiro e segundo nervos espinhais sacrais (S1 e S2, respectivamente), podendo apresentar a contribuição do ramo ventral do terceiro nervo espinhal sacral (S3). O nervo isquiático cedeu ramos aos músculos: glúteo superficial, glúteo médio, glúteo acessório, glúteo profundo, gêmeo, quadrado femoral, adutor, bíceps femoral, semitendinoso e semimembranoso. Os ramos terminais do nervo isquiático foram os nervos tibial e fibular comum, tendo suas origens distalmente ao trocânter maior do fêmur. Estatisticamente, através da aplicação do teste de Wilcoxon (0,05), não houve diferenças significativas entre as frequências dos ramos musculares do nervo isquiático e os antímeros, independentemente do número de ramos musculares.Current research studied, by dissection, the origin and distribution of the ischiatic nerve in 30 fetuses of mixed-breed male or female sheep (Ovis aries), obtained from abortions, stillborns and natural deaths of pregnant females on farms in the Triângulo Mineiro region, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Formaldehyde 10% was injected through the cannulation of descending thoracic aorta and the material was kept immersed in the solution for at least 48 hours before dissection. The ischiatic nerve originated from the ventral branch of the last lumbar spinal nerve, either from the sixth lumbar spinal nerve (L6) or from the seventh (L7), when present, and from the ventral branches of first and second sacral spinalnerves (S1 and S2, respectively), and possibly from the ventral branch of third sacral spinal nerve (S3). The ischiatic nerve provided branches to the superficial gluteal, middle gluteal, accessory gluteal, deep gluteal, gemelli, quadratus femoris, adductor, biceps femoris, semitendinosus and semimembranosus muscles. The tibial and common peroneal nerves were the terminal branches of the ischiatic nerve, originating distally towards the greater trochanter of the femur bone. Wilcoxon’s test (0.05) showed that statistically there were no significant differences between the frequencies of the muscular branches of the ischiatic nerve and the antimeres, regardless of the number of muscular branches

Morfologia e vascularização arterial do timo em avestruzes Struthio camelus (LINNAEUS, 1758)

Estudou-se a anatomia do timo em 30 filhotes de avestruzes, 13 machos e 17 fêmeas com idade variando entre 10 a 20 dias, mediante fixação de cada ave em solução aquosa de formol a 10%. As cadeias de lobos tímicos localizaram-se no terço distal da região ventral do pescoço, dispondo-se de forma linear e paralela, desde a décima primeira até a décima quinta vértebra cervical, relacionando-se com o nervo vago e veia jugular. O número de lobos variou de 1 a 3 e 1 ou 2, para os antímero direito e esquerdo respectivamente. A média das dimensões dos lobos foram 2,09 x 0,71 x 0,41 cm para o lobo cranial, 0,69 x 0,38 x 0,27 cm para o lobo médio e 0,55 x 0,33 x 0,29 cm para o lobo caudal do antímero direito. No antímero esquerdo foram registrados de 2,14 x 0,71 x 0,37 cm para o lobo cranial e 0,60 x 0,31 x 0,22 cm para o lobo caudal. Os lobos tímicos direitos e esquerdos mostraram-se nutridos, em todos os casos, por vasos oriundos, direta e exclusivamente, das artérias comuns dos nervos vagos, esofágicas ascendentes e cervicais cutâneas ascendentes direitas e esquerdas. Os lobos tímicos do antímero direito receberam, independentemente de sua origem, de um a cinco ramos e do antímero esquerdo, houve uma variação de um a quatro ramos. A morfologia e vascularização arterial do timo apresentaram comportamentos bem definidos, possuindo características comuns que identificam a espécie que foi objeto de nosso estudo.It was studied the morphology and the biometry of the thymus in 30 young ostriches, 13 males and 17 females aged from 10 to 20 days, by setting each bird in aqueous solution of 10% formaldehyde.

ORIGEM E DISTRIBUIÇÃO DA ARTÉRIA CELÍACA DE AVESTRUZES (Struthio camelus)

The exploration of ostriches aims at trading meat, feathers, leather and grease. The digestive system is intimately related to productivity, and the celiac artery is amongst the major vessels responsible for its nutrition. The artery´s origin and distribution was studied here. In 30 specimens, the left ischiatic artery was cannulated for the injection of a blood vessels marker solution and then fixed in formalin solution 10% via deep intramuscular, subcutaneous and intracavitary applications. We concluded that this artery originated from the descending aorta, its first branch is ventral and it headed for the right side sending branches to: esophagus, proventriculus, ventriculus, spleen, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, duodenum, ileum, left and right cecum

Morphologic and morphometric aspects of the domestic geese trachea

The tracheal morphology of 31 domestic geese was studied in order to characterize the morphometric and macroscopic aspects. Domestic geese, adult, male and female, from regular breeders, were utilized. The animals were euthanized by chloroform inhalation and fixed in 10% formaldehyde in aqueous solution. The trachea was dissected, beginning caudal at the larynx, up to its bifurcation inside the coelomatic cavity. The results demonstrated that the goose trachea is formed by 144 ± 12 complete tracheal rings and that has a total length of 33 ± 2.7cm on average. The trachea lumen is ovulated, flattened dorso-ventrally, and cylindrical in the middle part. The morphometric data from goose tracheas in males and females did not differ statistically (P < 0.05), suggesting that with regard to these characteristics there is no sexual dimorphism in this species

Para tanto, foram utilizados 31 gansos domésticos adultos, machos e fêmeas, oriundos de criadouros comerciais, os quais foram eutanasiados por meio de inalação de clorofórmio, seguindo-se fixação em solução aquosa de formol a 10%. A traquéia foi dissecada desde seu início, caudalmente à laringe, até sua bifurcação já na cavidade celomática. Os resultados mostraram que a traquéia dos gansos é composta por 144±12 anéis cartilagíneos completos, e em média possui 33±2,7 cm de comprimento. A luz da traquéia apresenta-se ovalada, com um ligeiro achatamento dorso-ventral, tornando-se cilíndrica caudalmente a partir do seu terço médio. Os valores morfométricos obtidos para machos e fêmeas adultos não mostraram diferenças estatísticas signifi cativas (p&lt;0,05), sugerindo que não há dimorfismo sexual evidente para as características analisadas.Morphologic and morphometric aspects of the domestic geese trachea.
