Descripción morfológica en cortes coronales y horizontales del encéfalo del Bovino (Bos taurus)

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The topographic anatomy in incisions has become importance in veterinary medicine due to its applicability in clinical diagnosis. This work attempts to extend the morphologic knowledge of the encephalon and the cranial pairs of Bos Taurus. Ten complete heads of calves of 15 days of age were used as experimental units; two were use for frontal incisions, two for horizontal incisions, three for frontal encephalon incisions and three for horizontal encephalon incisions. The incisions were photographed and morphologically analyzed in order to identify the structures. In the frontal and horizontal head incisions, the cranial pairs that have relation with the cranium, face and parts of the neck were described. In the frontal and horizontal encephalon incisions, the most evident macroscopic structures of the gray and white substance were described. The findings were compared with those present in humans (Homo sapiens sapiens), canines (Canis familiaris) and equines (Equus caballus). In form, position and order the encephalon of Bos Taurus was similar to the reference species, in regards to the structures that shape the gray and white substance.
