The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a cardinal feature that defines the class Mammalia and separates mammals from other vertebrates. As befits its late evolutionary origin, the TMJ also makes a tardy developmental appearance 1. The TMJ is interesting because its constituent bones, the mandible and the squamous temporal, are intramembranous in origin. Thus, the tissue that covers each articulat...

Objectives- to provide a reference anatomy of the bronchial tree of the Jebeer Gazelle by using computed tomographic modality. Design- Experimental study. Animals- Three female Jebeer Gazelle Procedures- Spiral CT images were taken from the thoracic region perpendicular to long axis of the body. CT windows were adjusted as necessary to have optimized images of pulmonary organ. The images ...

The detailed anatomy of TMJ of sheep was explored so that it could be used as an experimental animal for study of condylar growth. The experimental animal was a 3-month-old sheep, head of which was procured from a local abettor. The results showed that the sheep is an excellent experimental model for the study of condylar growth, with and without the use of functional appliances, because of sim...
