The morphometric analysis of the important bone structures on skull base in living individuals with multidetector computed tomography

Int. j. morphol; 32 (3), 2014
In this study, it was aimed to determine the reliable morphometric data of the important bone structures on skull base using MDCT and to establish the differences of these data according to sex and lateralization. This study was retrospectively carried out on MDCT images in the Radiology Department of Me...

Lumbar and abdominal muscles isometric potential in volleyball cadets

Int. j. morphol; 32 (3), 2014
Given that a volleyball game requires a certain level of individual anthropological characteristics of young volleyball players to successfully act on situational conditions, and that interdisciplinary approach in the science study is the principal methodological orientation, subject of study in the fiel...

Modelando la varianza de la forma: morfometría geométrica aplicaciones en biología evolutiva

Int. j. morphol; 32 (3), 2014
La comparación de caracteres anatómicos entre organismos ha sido un elemento central de la biología comparada. Históricamente, la clasificación taxonómica y la comprensión de la diversidad biológica se han basado en descripciones morfológicas. En base a una revolución matemática cuantitativa, ...

An attempt to determine the size of biometric differences in the skull of two colour variants of American mink (Neovison vison)

Int. j. morphol; 32 (3), 2014
This study aimed at answering the question whether production of new colour variants of American mink in mink farms using mutations may entail changes in skull morphology and relationships between the bone elements building it. Analyses were made on the skulls of 56 eight-month-old males and females of t...

Morphostructural differentiation and variability of Merino sheep breed under sustained directional selection

Int. j. morphol; 32 (3), 2014
In this paper, the degree of differentiation and morphostructural variability reached by the type of animal resulting from sustained directional selection, in addition to its implications for the emergence of a new sheep breed are analyzed. Twenty-five rams and 200 ewes from a sheep flock submitted to di...

Medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve: anatomical relationship with the medial epicondyle, basilic vein and brachial artery

Int. j. morphol; 32 (2), 2014
Medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve (MACN) courses in the medial arm to provide sensory innervation to the medial forearm. Its anatomy has been partly described since data regarding its branching pattern and distances to adjacent landmarks are still lacking. The purpose of this study was to provide morph...

Estudio biométrico de la arterias femoral, poplítea y tibial posterior en relación a los implantes de stents

Int. j. morphol; 32 (2), 2014
Los aneurismas de la arteria poplítea son los más frecuentes entre los aneurismas periféricos, pudiendo ser tratados con stents a través de cirugía endovascular. Sin embargo, tales stents poseen el mismo diámetro en la parte proximal y distal, no siendo compatible con la anatomía vascular de ese s...

Study of Wistar rats heart at different stages in the evolutionary cycle

Int. j. morphol; 32 (2), 2014
The rat is probably the most commonly used animal in scientific research. There are many benefits to its use such as: ability to work a large number of animals allowing greater statistical validity, the relatively short life cycles. However, the scant literature regarding the anatomy and morphology of th...

Supraorbital notch/foramen in Sri Lankan skulls: morphometry and surgical relevance

Int. j. morphol; 32 (2), 2014
Evidence supports the ethnic and sex variation in the form and position of the supraorbital foramen. Therefore, detailed knowledge of the population specific data on biometric features of the supraorbital foramen will facilitate diagnostic, local anesthetic and surgical manipulations in the maxillo-facia...

Determination of lateral ventricle and brain volume in children with stereological method using MRI

Int. j. morphol; 31 (1), 2013
Although brain development is most active during the intrauterina period of life, the processes of myelination and arborization affect the structure of the brain throughout childhood and adolescence. Brain development is also very active in the early years of a child's life, and continues to be so for ap...
