Light and scanning electron microscopy of the developing lingual papillae in the green iguana, Iguana iguana
Reptiles have recently become a popular group of pet animals. A relatively large number of studies on the morphology of the oral cavity and method of feeding in adult individuals have been published. Nevertheless, embryological descriptions of reptile body parts or structures are rare. In this study, we describe the morphology of the developing tongue, in particular its dorsal surface, in pre-h...
متن کاملDevelopment of olfactory epithelium and associated structures in the green iguana, Iguana iguana—light and scanning electron microscopic study
The ontogenesis of the nasal cavity has been described in many mammalian species. The situation is different with reptiles, despite the fact that they have become relatively common as pets. In this study we focused on the ontogenesis of the olfactory epithelium, as well as other types of epithelia in the nasal cavity of pre-hatched green iguanas (Iguana iguana). Collection of samples began from...

متن کاملPharmacokinetics of ketoprofen in the green iguana (Iguana iguana) following single intravenous and intramuscular injections.
The nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug ketoprofen (KTP) is a commonly used antiinflammatory and analgesic agent in reptile medicine, but no studies documenting its pharmacokinetics in this species have been published. Ketoprofen was administered as a racemic mixture to green iguanas (Iguana iguana) intravenously (i.v.) and intramuscularly (i.m.) at 2 mg/kg. Pharmacokinetic analyses were perform...
متن کاملOxygen transport by the circulatory system of the green iguana (Iguana iguana) at different body temperatures.
Since the early investigations of Cowles & Bogert (1944), it has become established that many lizards when active under natural conditions have mean body temperatures that are several degrees higher than air temperature in the shade and are relatively constant (Brattstrom, 1965). This difference between the mean (or eccritic) body temperature and air temperature is maintained primarily by absor...
