Investigations on the Macro and Micro Anatomical Structures of Liver in Mole Rats (Spalax leucodon)
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the macro and micro-anatomical structures of liver in mole-rats
(Spalax leucodon). For this purpose, five adult mole-rats were used. The right lobe (lobus hepatis dexter) was divided
into lateral and medial lobules. The left lobe was located a the cavum thoracici and it was not divided. Facies
parietalis and visceralis of hepar contact with cupula diaphragmatis of diaphragma and gaster, respectively. Hepar in
mole-rats had lobular structure, all the edges were sharp and thin.Incisura interlobares, seperating hepar
compartments was deep and extended from ventral to dorsal edge.
The quadrate lobe was divided into two components by a deep notch. Gall bladder was present. Polygonal
hepatic lobules were the morphological units of the liver. Hepatocytes and Kupffer cells were observed in the walls of
sinusoids in the liver. Many sinusoidal spaces were observed between the cords among the hepatocytes. Poligonal
lobules is located in the v.centralis.
In conclusion, both anatomical and histological fundamental features of the liver of the mole rats were
investigated and, additionally the main features, some of the similarities and differences were detected between mole
rat and the rodentia.
