The morphological study of wild animals serves as a base for more advanced studies in clinical medicine, surgery, and pathology. Due to an urgent need and demand for professionals specialized in this area, studies of this nature have become indispensable and so the objective of the present study was to describe the heart morphology of Callithrix jacchus.
Ten anatomic pieces of common marmoset were used. The hearts were removed and dissected for better visualization and thus to makes a detailed description of the structures of the organ of the C jacchus species.
The C jacchus heart is similar to that of other mammals, with small anatomical modifications such as division of the apex by the interventricular grooves, shallow fossa ovalis, and less salient intervenous tubercle.
This study may serve as taxonomic base for research and also as a basis for clinical and surgical procedures with the C jacchus.
野生动物的形态研究是临床医学、外科学和病理学更深入研究的基础。由于对该领域专业人员的迫切需求,此类研究已变得不可或缺,因此本研究的目的是描述白掌长臂猿心脏的形态。
使用了 10 个普通狨猴的解剖标本。取出心脏并进行解剖,以便更好地观察和详细描述 C jacchus 物种器官的结构。
C jacchus 的心脏与其他哺乳动物的心脏相似,只是有一些微小的解剖学改变,例如室间沟将心尖分开、卵圆窝较浅、静脉间结节不太明显。
本研究可为 C jacchus 的研究提供分类学基础,也可为临床和外科手术提供依据。
