Biometric Study of the Reproductive Organs of Three Breeds of Sheep in Nigeria

Int. j. morphol; 30 (4), 2012
A comparative study of testicular biometry was done in rams using three major breeds of sheep in Nigeria. Biometrical parameters observed were scrotal circumference (SC), testes weight (TW), testes length (TL), tunica albuginea weight (TAW), testes volume (TV), testes density (TD), epididymal weight (EW)...

Histological and Histochemical Studies on the Prenatal Development of Testis in Goat (Capra hircus)

Int. j. morphol; 30 (4), 2012
The study has been conducted on the prenatal development of testis on 70 goat embryo/foeti, categorized into group-I (0-30 days), Group-II (31-60 days), Group-III (61-90 days), Group-IV (91-120 days) and group V (121days-till birth), having 14 embryos/ foeti in each group. The genital ridge was observed ...

Scrotal Circumference and Testicular Morphometric Characteristics of the Camel (Camelus Dromedarius) in the Semi-Arid Environment of Northern Nigeria

Int. j. morphol; 30 (4), 2012
Reproductive tract of 12 camels (Camelus dromedarius) were used to evaluate testicular morphometry. The testicular morphometric characteristics measured were scrotal circumference (in situ), paired testis weight, epididymal weight and mean epididymal length, testis volume, and testis density. There were ...

Morfometria e histologia das gônadas de machos e fêmeas recém-eclodidos de Podocnemis expansa e Podocnemis unifilis (Testudines, Podocnemididae)

Acta sci., Biol. sci; 34 (1), 2012
Considerando a importância da técnica histológica na sexagem de quelônios e os poucos trabalhos direcionados para esta técnica, é proposto neste estudo caracterizar morfometricamente e histologicamente as gônadas de P. expansa e P. unifilis. Todos os espécimes utilizados neste trabalho foram proc...

Anatomy of the male reproductive system of Phrynops geoffroanus (Testudines: Chelidae)

Acta sci., Biol. sci; 33 (4), 2011
The reproductive system of male Phrynops geoffroanus adults is macroscopically described and the variation in testicular biometry is evaluated. A pair of oval testes is connected by the efferent ductules to the epididymis, which continue as deferent ducts, which emerge in the penis. The volume of the gon...

Variation in the Origin of the Testicular Arteries and Drainage of the Right Testicular Vein

Int. j. morphol; 29 (2), 2011
During routine dissection of a 42 year old male Indian cadaver posterior abdominal wall, variations in the testicular vessels were observed. The right testicular artery arose from the right accessory renal artery, which originated from the ventral aspect of the abdominal aorta. The left testicular artery...

Anatomical Study on the Descent of Testis in Prenatal Goat (Capra hircus)

Int. j. morphol; 29 (2), 2011
A study was conducted on 70 embryo/ foetii of goats to observe the descent of testis. These foetii were grouped into I (0-30 days), II (31-60 days), III (61-90 days), IV (91-120days) and V (121 days up to term, having 14 embryos/ foetii in each group. The genital ridge was observed at 1.2cm CRL (23 day) ...

Biometria testicular, eletroejaculação e características seminais de caititus, Tayassu tajacu Linnaeus, 1758 (Mammalia, Artiodactyla, Tayassuidae) mantidos em cativeiro na Amazônia Oriental

Acta amaz; 40 (4), 2010
Estudos relacionados à obtenção e avaliação de sêmen de Tayassu tajacu são escassos, sendo necessárias pesquisas a respeito. Os objetivos do estudo foram avaliar a biometria testicular de caititus adultos cativos, testar a eficiência da eletroejaculação para obtenção de sêmen e avaliar suas...

Trypanosoma vivax nos tecidos testicular e epididimário de ovinos experimentalmente infectados

Pesqui. vet. bras; 28 (12), 2008
Quatro ovinos machos, com cerca de 12 meses de idade (Ovinos 1-4), foram infectados por via intravenosa com aproximadamente 1,25x10(5) tripomastigotas de Trypanosoma vivax, outros quatro ovinos (Ovinos 5-8) destinaram-se ao grupo controle. Após a infecção, exames clínicos visando avaliar temperatura ...

Histologia do funículo espermático do cateto (Tayassu tajacu)

J. Health Sci. Inst; 26 (2), 2008
Introdução - O estudo dos aspectos histológicos dos funículos espermáticos do cateto (Tayassu tajacu), adultos, procura melhor conhecer a morfologia do aparelho reprodutor. Material e Métodos - Para a descrição histológica utilizou-se seis pares de funículos corados com hematoxilina-eosina, pic...
