MORPHOLOGY AND HISTOLOGY OF THE EURASIAN LYNX (Lynx lynx) PLANUM NASALE

Abstract: This study reveals the macroscopic and microscopic structures of Eurasian lynx planum nasale using materials from three dead females obtained Sivas Forestry Branch Agriculture Ministry Republic Turkey. To accomplish purpose, was investigated macroscopic, histological, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. The examination showed that consists hairless, moist, glabrous skin resembles a ship anchor with arm, palm, stock, sickle parts. nasale’s surface is formed by epidermal plates or ridges, which were separated each other primary secondary fissures in SEM figures. Based on examination, Mercel’s cells nerve ends are located basal sheet layers. In addition, pores situated ridges dense connective bundles settled dermal layers, based examination.Key words: (Lynx rufus); morphology; nasal plane; nasaleMORFOLOGIJA IN HISTOLOGIJA SMRČKA EVRAZIJSKEGA RISA lynx)Izvleček: V študiji so opisane makroskopske mikroskopske strukture smrčka evrazijskega risa, ki je bila opravljena s proučevanjem tkiv treh mrtvih samic, jih pridobili pomočjo gozdarske podružnice Ministrstva za kmetijstvo gozdarstvo Republike Turčije. Strukturo raziskovali z uporabo makroskopskih, histoloških metod ter uporabe vrstičnega elektronskega mikroskopa (SEM). Mikroskopska preiskava pokazala, da smrček sestavlja brezdlaka, vlažna, gola koža, po obliki spominja na ladijsko sidro. Površinski del tvorijo epidermalne plošče ali grebeni, ločujejo primarne sekundarne razpoke, vidne makroskopskih slikah vrstične mikroskopije. Na preparatih bile v bazalni plasti epidermisa opazne Merkelove celice živčni končiči. S metode pokazali pore, se nahajajo površini epidermalnih grebenov snope togega fibrilarnega veziva, segajo plast dermisa.Ključne besede: Evrazijski ris morfologija; nosna ravnina;
