Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the sternum skeleton of camel, thereby making a contribution to fill the gap of knowledge in this field. The study represented that the gross anatomical features of the camel were different from other animals. The sternum had the longitudinal structure a boat shape. It consisted of three parts: the manubrium cranially, the body in middle and the xiphoid process. They were all in eight segments. The body sterni increased progressively in width caudally. The high dorso-ventral increased from the first segment to the fourth one, then decreased caudally to the seventh sternbera. The four sternebrae contributed in forming of the pad sternal. The sternebrae connected with the others by synchodroses sternales. The best aspiration site in the camel was between the 2nd and the 3rd sternebrae of the sternum bone.
