The pectinate ligaments of ten horses, two donkeys, five oxen, five sheep, ten goats, five dogs, five cats, thirty pigs and two rabbits were studied under the stereomicroscope and the scanning electron microscope. In the horse and the donkey, the pectinate ligament was very prominent and was characterized by sturdy interconnected strands and relatively small intertrabecular spaces. The pectinate ligaments of ruminants were composed of shorter strands, separated by relatively larger spaces. Fusion between adjacent strands, resulting in the formation of fenestrated sheets, was regularly observed in these species, in particular in the superior and inferior ocular segments. In the dog and the cat, the pectinate ligament consisted of slender strands that were separated by large intertrabecular spaces. The strands of the pectinate ligaments of the pig and the rabbit were shorter and their diameters were intermediate between those of the herbivores and the carnivores. The clinical relevance of the normal variability in the structure of the pectinate ligament and proposals for a uniform anatomical nomenclature are discussed.
在体视显微镜和扫描电子显微镜下，对10匹马、2头驴、5头牛、5只羊、10只山羊、5只狗、5只猫、30头猪和2只兔子的栉状韧带进行了研究。在马和驴中，栉状韧带非常突出，其特征是有粗壮的相互连接的纤维束和相对较小的小梁间隙。反刍动物的栉状韧带由较短的纤维束组成，纤维束之间的间隙相对较大。在这些物种中，特别是在眼的上段和下段，经常观察到相邻纤维束之间的融合，形成有窗孔的薄片。在狗和猫中，栉状韧带由细长的纤维束组成，纤维束之间有较大的小梁间隙。猪和兔子的栉状韧带纤维束较短，其直径介于食草动物和食肉动物之间。本文讨论了栉状韧带结构正常变异的临床相关性以及统一解剖学命名的建议。
