Gross anatomy of the heart in Ostrich (Struthio camelus)

Today, with emphasis on the mechanical heart and heart transplantation from one human to another andone species to another, a knowledge of the anatomy of the bird’s heart could contribute to theseaccomplishments. Eight male adult ostriches were used to study the heart macroscopically. This studyrevealed that the ostrich heart has some different features from the other birds. In the ostrich, fib...

Review of Gross Anatomy

Evaluation of computer-aided instruction in a gross anatomy course: a six-year study.

Web-based computer-aided instruction (CAI) has become increasingly important to medical curricula. This multi-year study investigated the effectiveness of CAI and the factors affecting level of individual use. Three CAI were tested that differed in specificity of applicability to the curriculum and in the level of student interaction with the CAI. Student personality preferences and learning st...

Research Paper: Evaluating Gross Anatomy of Cervix in Zel Sheep

Introduction: Many previous studies have proved that the anatomical features of cervix can affect the success of artificial insemination. These characteristics differ in sheep breeds. This study aimed to describe the anatomical features of cervix in Zell ewes; the only tailed sheep in Iran. Methods: Eighty nonpregnant and clinically healthy reproductive tracts of adult Zel sheep were collected...

of Anatomy ( Gross Anatomy and Neuroanatomy )

Our department’s research activities have focused on neuroanatomy and gross anatomy. In neuroanatomical research, the development and organization of neuronal networks are investigated to elucidate brain function and diseases by means of immunocytochemistry, electron microscopy, in-situ hybridization histochemistry, singlecell tracer injection, and patch-clamp electrophysiology. Our primary int...
