Morphology and anatomic-surgical segmentation of the spleen of Pecari tajacu Li...
Oliveira, Gleidson Benevides de; Câmara, Felipe Venceslau; Bezerra, Ferdinando Vinícius Fernandes; Araújo Júnior, Hélio Noberto deThe spleen is a secondary lymphoid organ with importance in clinical surgery. Due this and the lack of data in the literature, the current paper analyzes the organ´s morphology and segmentation in collared peccaries. Twenty animals were used at the Center for the Multiplication of Wild Animals of the Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Ãrido, Mossoró RN Brazil. The spleen was removed with the splenic pedicle p...

The placental barrier of Kerodon rupestris (Rodentia: caviidae)
Oliveira, Moacir Franco de; Oliveira, Gleidson Benevides de; Bezerra, Ferdinando Vinícius Fernandes; Câmara, Felipe VenceslauThe placenta of the rodents generally has a chorial-allantoic, discoid and hemochorial shape. Since they resemble the process of human placentation, such characteristics make this order an interesting experimental model for understanding placentation, placental barrier and the physiological mechanisms involved in maternal-fetal exchanges. Due to the fact that Kerodon rupestris may be used as placental model, cu...
Arterial vascularization of the cloacal bursa of the greater rhea (Rhea america...
Oliveira, Radan Elvis Matias de; Oliveira, Gleidson Benevides de; Bezerra, Ferdinando Vinicius Fernandes; Câmara, Felipe VenceslauThe cloacal bursa is an organ in fowls, which triggers lymphocyte maturation and transference to other tissues. Since there is scanty information on its morphology in wild species in spite of its importance in the fowls´ immunological system, current analysis describes the arterial vascularization of the cloacal bursa in the greater rhea. Twenty juvenile rheas (male and female), which died of natural causes, w...
