Morphometric study on ciliary body in New Zealand Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus)

Abstract

In this morphometric study, the ciliary ring, ciliary processes and ciliary plicae which reside in the ciliary body, were examined in New Zealand Rabbit. Both sides of the eyeballs of 20 adult New Zealand Rabbits were used. The width of ciliary ring were measured with calibers using stereomicroscope. In counting, number of ciliary plicae was 301.07± 2.36 number of ciliary process was 131.58 ± 2. Quantitative distinctions between right and left eyeballs were no account in statistical. The average dorsoventral diameter of eyeball was 19.23 mm, temporo-nasal diameter of eyeball was 19.69 mm, the average dorso-ventral diameter of cornea was 14.28 mm, temporo-nasal diameter of cornea 14.50 mm, the average dorso-ventral diameter of pupil was 7.48 mm, temporo-nasal diameter of pupil was 7.19 mm, the average dorso-ventral diameter of ciliary ring was 15.94 mm, temporo-nasal diameter of ciliary ring was 15.84 mm

Yeni Zelanda Tavşanı’nda (Oryctolagus cuniculus) corpus ciliare’nin morfometrik olarak incelenmesi

Abstract

Bu morfometrik çalışma ile Yeni Zelanda Tavşanı’nda corpus ciliare’de yer alan corona ciliaris, processus ciliares ve plicae ciliares morfometrik olarak incelendi. Araştırmada 20 adet ergin Yeni Zelanda Tavşanı’nın bulbus oculi’leri kullanıldı. Corona ciliaris’in genişliği, stereomikroskop kullanılarak ölçüldü. Yapılan sayımda plicae ciliares sayısının 301.07± 2.36, processus ciliares sayısının 131.58 ± 2 adet olduğu belirlendi. Sağ ve sol göz arasındaki sayısal farklılıklar istatistiksel açıdan önemsiz bulundu. Bulbus oculi’nin ortalama dorso-ventral çapının 19.23 mm, temporo-nasal çapının 19.69 mm, cornea’nın ortalama dorso-ventral çapının 14.28 mm, temporo-nasal çapının 14.50 mm, pupilla’nın ortalama dorso-ventral çapının 7.48 mm, temporo-nasal çapının 7.19 mm, corona ciliaris’in ortalama dorso-ventral çapının 15.94 mm, temporo-nasal çapının 15.84 mm olduğu saptandı
