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.
