Morfometric examination of the intraorbital muscles (musculi bulbi) in roe deer (Capreolus capreolus)

Abstract

In the present study, 8 adult roe deer were used. Intraorbital muscles were made clear by dissection and their length and breadth, the distance of the muscle insertions from the corneal limbus were measured. Junction formations of the insertion tendons of intraorbital muscles to the sclera were identified. The muscle that attached to the sclera and nearest to limbus cornea was rectus lateralis (6.35 ± 0.69 mm) and farthest to limbus cornea was rectus medialis (9.09 ±1.21). All intraorbital muscles except obliquus ventralis and retractor bulbi muscles have tendinous insertions that could be identified macroscopically. The morphology of the insertion tendons of the intraorbital muscles was different from domestic ruminants

Karacada (Capreolus capreolus) intraorbital göz kasları (musculi bulbi) üzerine morfometrik bir çalışma

Abstract

Çalışmada ergin 8 karaca kullanıldı. Göz kasları diseksiyonla belirgin hale getirildi ve uzunluk, en ve kalınlık ile sclera üzerinde yapışma noktalarının limbus cornea’ya olan uzaklıkları ölçüldü. Kasların sonlanma tendo’larının sclera’ya bağlanma şekilleri belirlendi. Mm. recti içerisinde limbus cornea’ya en yakın bağlanan kas m. rectus lateralis (6.35 ± 0.69 mm), en uzak bağlanan ise m. rectus medialis’di (9.09 ±1.21 mm). M. obliquus ventralis ve m. retractor bulbi dışında tüm göz kasları makroskobik olarak belirlenen tendosel bir sonlanma hattına sahipti. Göz kaslarının sonlanma hatları evcil gevişenlerle benzerlik göstermiyordu
