Rabbits are widely used in biomedical and veterinary research due to some physiological and anatomical similarities to humans. Furthermore, their controllable breeding requirements make them suitable for laboratory experiments. Ten male rabbits were used in the presented study. The arteries supplying the upper digestive system organs were dissected. Morphometric and macroanatomical findings of these organs were taken and organs were imaged using X-ray. In rabbits, the upper lip was found to have a cleft (philtrum). The number of palatine rugae on the palate was determined to be 13 pairs. The average linguae length in rabbits was measured as 52.39±1.75 mm. Torus of the tongue and median sulcus of the tongue was seen prominently on the tongue. Four types of papillae were macroanatomically detected on the linguae. These were filiform papillae, fungiform papillae, vallate papillae, and foliate papillae. The tongue muscles and arteries were dissected and named. The parotid gland was 28.4 mm in length, 57.245 mm in width, and 44.58 g in weight. Total oesophagus length was determined as 15.85 cm and weight was 2.41 g. As a result, this study contributed to the anatomy literature on rabbit upper digestive system organs. In addition, the detailed data obtained will form the basis for future studies and operations on the rabbit upper digestive system.
由于兔子在生理和解剖学上与人类有一些相似之处，它们被广泛应用于生物医学和兽医研究。此外，它们可控的繁殖条件使其适合用于实验室实验。本研究使用了10只雄性兔子。对供应上消化系统器官的动脉进行了解剖。记录了这些器官的形态测量和大体解剖学结果，并使用X射线对器官进行了成像。在兔子中，发现上唇有裂隙（人中）。上腭的腭皱襞数量确定为13对。兔子舌的平均长度测量为52.39±1.75毫米。舌隆突和舌正中沟在舌上明显可见。在舌上大体解剖学检测到四种类型的乳头。这些是丝状乳头、菌状乳头、轮廓乳头和叶状乳头。对舌肌和动脉进行了解剖并命名。腮腺长28.4毫米，宽57.245毫米，重44.58克。食管总长度确定为15.85厘米，重量为2.41克。因此，本研究为兔子上消化系统器官的解剖学文献做出了贡献。此外，所获得的详细数据将为未来关于兔子上消化系统的研究和手术奠定基础。
