A Macroanatomic and Morphometric Study on the Hasak Sheep Mandible
Abstract
The study was carried out to reveal some macroanatomical and morphometric values on the Hasak sheep mandible. In the study, eight reformed dead Hasak sheep mandibles from Konya Bahri Dagdas International Agricultural Research Institute were used. The length between 19 different points in the mandible of Hasak sheep was measured and the values obtained were compared with other sheep breeds. As a result of this comparison, it has been determined that the mandible length and mandible height values of Hasak sheep are higher than Hemsin, Morkaraman, Tuj, Mehraban, Iranian domestic sheep breeds and lower than that of Konya merino, Hasmer, Yankasa, Barbados Black Belly sheep. In addition, in other comparisons, it has been determined that the mandible measurement values of Hasak sheep are higher than some sheep breeds, while it is lower than some sheep breeds. These results are of clinical importance to assist in regional anesthesia of the mandibular and mental nerves, especially during surgical operation, tooth extraction and treatment in the mandible.
