ahistological study of the corneosclera layer (fibrous tunic) of ostrich (struthio camelus)

چکیده
background: the ostrich is an interesting subject concerninganimal evolution and morphology studies. it has been speculatedthat ostrich eyes would have distinct tissue structures and this hasnot been previously studied in detail. objectives: the aim of thepresent study was to investigate the histology of the outer layer ofthe ostrich. methods: ten mature ostriches were chosen from anostrich breeding center in jupar, kerman, iran. all of them were ina good shape and healthy condition. after slaughter, their headswere kept in 10 % formalin solution for 7 days and then the eyes wereremoved. routine histological techniques were done and 6-μmthicksections were cut. sections were stained with standardhematoxylin and eosin (h&e) and masson's trichrome and pas.the sections were studied under a light microscope. results:thecornea of ostrich had both dermal and sclera components and thetwo distinct parts were separated by a distinct zone; in addition, thesclera was divided into an episclera zone and a sclera proper zone.conclusions: the outer layer of the episclera composed ofconnective fibers loosely attached to the sclera proper. the innerlayer of the sclera consisted of dense connective tissues with twocartilaginous parts continuing over the oraserrata that composeddense connective fibers and ossicles.

The Ostrich is a native bird of Africa, and is highly accomplished in terrestrial locomotion in desert and grassland environments. The foot is an important segment in the ostrich body, critical for damping vibration, absorbing energy, and maintaining balance; however, detailed information on the ostrich foot is sparse. In this study, the gross anatomy of locomotor system of the ostrich foot was...

متن کاملGross 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...
متن کاملPhylogeographic Patterns in Mitochondrial Dna of the Ostrich (struthio Camelus)
--We assayed restriction-site differences in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) within and among populations of the Ostrich (Struthio camelus) throughout much of its African distribution. Little genetic diversity was evident among samples drawn from localities throughout southern Africa (S.c. australis), while deep divisions in the mtDNA gene tree exist between representatives of the eastern (S.c. molyb...
متن کاملThree-dimensional anatomy of the ostrich (Struthio camelus) knee joint
The three-dimensional anatomy of the ostrich (Struthio camelus) knee (femorotibial, femorofibular, and femoropatellar) joint has scarcely been studied, and could elucidate certain mechanobiological properties of sesamoid bones. The adult ostrich is unique in that it has double patellae, while another similar ratite bird, the emu, has none. Understanding why these patellae form and what purpose ...
