Anatomic and craniometric factors in differentiating roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) from sheep (Ovis aries) and goat (Capra hircus) skulls
This study was carried out to investigate the bony structures relevant to skull of roe deer, sheep and goat. The skull of five sheep weighing 45-50 kg, three goat weighing 50-60 kg and five roe deer weighing 20-25 kg were used in this study. Macerations of the cranium were performed by the boiling method. The skull of the roe deer was notably similar to that of sheep with the presence of external lacrimal fossa, and to the goat with due to the presence of two points (lateral and medial) on the septal process and a significant fissure formed between the nasal, lacrimal, frontal and maxillary bones. In addition to these similarities, the formations which were specific to the roe deer were structures such as the number and position of the lacrimal foramen and presence of an uncertain muscular tubercle in the basilar portion of the occipital bone. In addition, the craniometric parameters specific to the roe deer’s skull were determined as the zygomatic, interorbital, neurocranium and nasal lengths

Light and electron microscopic studies on the pecten oculi showing blood-retina barrier properties in Turkey's native Gerze chicken
The pecten oculi is a highly vascularized and pigmented organ that projects from the optic disc into the vitreous body in the avian eye. In this study, the pecten oculi of Turkey's native Gerze chicken was examined by light and scanning electron microscopy. Furthermore, the localization of some adherens junction components (E-cadherin and pan-cadherin) in intact vessels of the blood-retina barrier was investigated by immunohistochemistry. In the Gerze chicken, the pecten oculi was a thin structure, which was located over the head of the discus nervi optici and projected from the retina into the corpus vitreum. The pecten oculi consisted of 18-21 highly vascularized pleats, joined apically by a bridge and resembled an accordion in appearance. Hyalocytes and melanocytes were observed around the small and large vessels. The morphometric data of the pecten oculi showed that there were no statistical differences in terms of sex. The immunohistochemical analysis of the pecten oculi, which is used as a model for the investigation of the formation and maturation of the barrier properties in the central nervous system, revealed cytoplasmic E-cadherin and pan-cadherin immunoreactivity in the endothelial cells of the small, large and capillary vessels. These observations suggest that while the morphological and histological structure of the Gerze chicken's pecten oculi was generally similar to that of other diurnal domestic birds, the pecten oculi, a model system for vascular differentiation and the blood-retina barrier, expressed different cadherins

In the tissuesamples, Crossman's trichrome stain were applied for the determination of the overallstructure followed by routine histological procedures. AB-PAS and AF-AB techniques wereused for the determination of histochemical features of mucins in pylorus and Brunner’sglands. In SEM analysis, tissue samples were examined at different magnifications followedby Au-Pd coating after tissue processing.Results: Histologically, the pylorus and duodenum epithelium were the single stratifiedcolumnar epithelium. When examined histochemically, neutral and mixed mucins werepresent in surface epithelium of pylorus, Brunner’s gland cells and in goblet cell of theduodenum, while acidic mucins (mostly sulfated mucins) were higher in pylorus glands. InSEM analysis, while the diameter of the openings of foveola gastrica to lumen in pylorussurface were about 5 mm, villus intestinalis whose height in the surface of duodenum werefound approximately 100-150 |amConclusion: The general structures of pylorus and duodenum were resemble to the othermammals and the secretions of glands localized in this region that included neutral and acidic(carboxylic and sulphate groups) musins were demonstrated. Therefore, we suggest that themucin component of the mucus layer creating a barrier between mucosa and microbialpathogens in Saanen goats protect against mucosal drying and washing food with toxins.Key words: Duodenum, Histochemistry, Mucin, Pylorus, Saanen goats.</p
Tarsal plate: Protective Structure Peculiar to Buzzard's (Buteo buteo) Palpebra Inferioris
WOS: 000285216200017The study was carried out to investigate the effects of some external egg traits on hatchability using classification tree mRapid increase in human population leads to frequent contact with wild animals. Recently, the number of wild animals brought to the clinic of Faculty of Veterinary Medicine increased in consequence of illegal hunting, injury and road accident. In the present study, 16 palpebra inferiores of 8 buzzards (Buteo buteo) were investigated by subgros and histological methods. Palpebra inferioris responsible of covering cornea was longer than superior palpebra and supported with a dense connective tissue structure called tarsal plate. Tarsal plate in the buzzard has a strong structure and suitable form to protect eye. This strong tarsal plate should be kept in mind during surgical approach of inferior palpebra.Project Menagement Office of Ondokuz Mayis UniversityOndokuz Mayis University [PYO.

Abnormal cervical vertebrae of the British horse
Ondokuz Mayıs Üniversitesi kliniklerine gelen bir İngiliz atinin nekropsisi sırasında altıncı ve yedinci cervical vertebrae'da anomali fark edildi. Diseksiyon yöntemleri kullanılarak elde edilen boyun omurları incelendi. Altıncı cervical vertebrae’nm crista centralist sahip olduğu ve görünüm itibariyle 3-4-5. cervical vertebraiya benzediği dikkat çekti. Yedinci cervical vertebrae’nm ise corpus’unun normalden daha uzun olduğu,proccessus spinosuiunun belirgin olmadığı,processus transversuiunun ise üç çıkıntıdan şekillendiği ve lateral’den kızak görünümüne sahip olduğu gözlendi. Ayrıca foramen transversarium her iki tarafta da mevcuttu. Sonuç olarak, altıcı cervical vertebrae’nm 3-4-5. cervical vertebrae özelliğinde olduğu, yedinci’nin ise hem altıncı hem de yedinci cervical vertebrae’nm özelliklerini beraberinde taşıdığı tespit edildi.The abnormality was noticed in the 6th and 7th cervical vertebra of the English horse which had been brought to the Ondokuz Mayıs University Clinics. Cervical part of the vertebral column was dissected out and investigated. It was detected that the 6 th cervical vertebra had a ventral crest and therefore it had resemblance to 3-4-5. cervical vertebra. Besides, body of the 7th cervical vertebra was longer than normal and the spinous process wasn’t prominent. The transversal processes were consisted of three different projections and had a sled like shape in lateral view. Also the transversal foramina could easily detected at both sides. In conclusion, 6th cervical vertebra had a characteristic shape of 3-4-5. vertebrae and 7th had a typical morphological properties of both 6th and itself
