Morphology Of The Heart Of A White-Cheeked Gibbon (Hylobates Concolor), Tilladit Rung-Ruangkijkrai, Wuthichai Klomkleaw, Pakorn Prachammuang Mar 2015

Morphology Of The Heart Of A White-Cheeked Gibbon (Hylobates Concolor), Tilladit Rung-Ruangkijkrai, Wuthichai Klomkleaw, Pakorn Prachammuang

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The heart was recovered at post mortem from an adult white-cheeked gibbon, Hylobates concolor, for anatomical and histological studies. Macroscopically, it had oval shape, blunt and spherical apex with 3.5 cm. and 5 cm. in width and length. Smooth edged comma-shaped right auricle was markedly bigger than the jagged- edged left auricle. Pectinate muscles were found both at the internal surface of the right auricle and lateral free wall of the right atrium, while limited only in blind part of the left auricle. The coronary arteries supply was left coronary type. The left coronary artery gave circumflex and paraconal interventricular …


An Anatomical, Histological And Ultrastructural Study On The Placenta Of The Red-Shanked Douc Langur (Pygathrix Nemaeus), Damri Darawiroj, Natthaya Tuaprakone, Yongchai Utara Sep 2012

An Anatomical, Histological And Ultrastructural Study On The Placenta Of The Red-Shanked Douc Langur (Pygathrix Nemaeus), Damri Darawiroj, Natthaya Tuaprakone, Yongchai Utara

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

A red-shanked douc langur (Pygathrix nemaeus nemaeus) is currently enlisted as an endangered primatespecies. This study was undertaken to describe the gross anatomy, histology and ultrastructural morphology of thedouc langur term placenta by light, scanning, and transmission electron microscopy. The primary disc of bidiscoidalplacenta was separated to 4-6 small cotyledonary subdivisions and was attached by an umbilical cord. The chorionfrondosum of placenta was classified as villous, haemomonochorial and deciduate type. The interhaemal area wascomposed of a layer of syncytiotrophoblast that occasionally clustered as the syncytial knot, fetal capillaryendothelium and its basement membrane. The intervillous mineralized fibrinoid mass and syncytial knot …

Gross Anatomy Of The Pygmy Killer Whale Heart Found In Thailand, Wuthichai Klomkleaw, Punnarat Viboonjan, Nantarika Chunsue, Ajchariya Sailasuta Jun 2005

Gross Anatomy Of The Pygmy Killer Whale Heart Found In Thailand, Wuthichai Klomkleaw, Punnarat Viboonjan, Nantarika Chunsue, Ajchariya Sailasuta

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The pygmy killer whale (Feresa attenuata) is the smallest killer whale similar in size to dolphins. This mammal lives deep down in warm sea far from the shore and avoids human contact. Since the number of pygmy killer whales are gradually decreasing it could become an endangered species so it’s morphological study is an important to provide fundamental data for future study and research. The heart of a male pygmy killer whale found in the Petchaburi province of Thailand was studied anatomically. It was triangular-in shape with flattened sides being, short and wide, with a pointed apex. Subepicardial fat was …
