TY - JOUR T1 - Morphometric Investigation of Sexual Dimorphism and Homotypic Variations of Ossicula Auditus in Morkaraman Sheep TT - Morkaraman Koyunlarında Ossicula Auditus'un Eşeysel Dimorfizminin ve Homotipik Varyasyonlarının Morfometrik Olarak İncelenmesi AU - Aksünger Karaavcı, Funda AU - Koçyiğit, Ali PY - 2024 DA - December Y2 - 2024 DO - 10.31196/huvfd.1530720 JF - Harran University Journal of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine JO - Harran Univ Vet Fak Derg PB - Harran University WT - DergiPark SN - 2146-7188 SP - 118 EP - 122 VL - 13 IS - 2 LA - en AB - In this study, it was aimed to determine the morphometric characteristics of the bones forming the ossicula auditus of Morkaraman sheep and to reveal the differences between sexes and sides. For this purpose, 24 (12 females/12 males) craniums of Morkaraman sheep were used in the study. After the craniums were macerated, the ossicula auditus in the cavum tympani were dissected out and morphometric data were determined by taking linear measurements. Sexually dimorphic structures and homotypic variations of the obtained morphometric data were statistically calculated. It was observed that the bones forming the ossicula auditis were malleus, incus and stapes, respectively; when the morphometric data obtained were analyzed, it was determined that there were statistically dimorphic differences between sexes in the parameters of malleus lenght, width of the caput mallei and length of the manubrium mallei (P KW - Dimorphizm KW - Homotypic variation KW - Morphometry KW - Ossicula auditus N2 - Bu çalışmada, Morkaraman koyunlarında ossicula auditus'u oluşturan kemiklerin morfometrik özelliklerinin belirlenmesi, cinsiyetler ve yönler arasındaki farklılıkların ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla çalışmada 24 adet (12 dişi/12 erkek) Morkaraman koyunu kafatası kullanıldı. Cranium’lar maserasyona tabi tutulduktan sonra cavum tympani'deki ossicula auditus'lar diseke edildi ve doğrusal ölçümler alınarak morfometrik veriler belirlendi. Elde edilen morfometrik verilerin cinsiyete göre dimorfik yapıları ve homotipik varyasyonları istatistiksel olarak hesaplanmıştır. Ossicula auditus'u oluşturan kemiklerin sırasıyla malleus, incus ve stapes olduğu görülmüş, elde edilen morfometrik veriler analiz edildiğinde sol malleus kemikçiğinde,caput mallei uzunluğu (P CR - Alpar R, 2018: Spor, sağlık ve eğitim bilimlerinden örneklerle uygulamalı istatistik ve geçerlik-güvenirlik [Applied statistics and validity-reliability with examples from sports, health and educational sciences].
