Abstract: 289Pesq. Vet. Bras. 30(4):289-294, abril 2010 RESUMO.-Kinosternon scorpioides é uma pequena tartaruga semi-aquática, típica de água doce, de distribuição geográfica bastante diversificada, encontrada no estado do Maranhão, onde é denominada de jurará ou muçuã. Sua carne é uma excelente fonte de proteína e a despeito da legislação vigente, é comercializado nas praias e feiras da cidade de São Luís e consumido nos restaurantes sob a forma de farofa servida em casquinha. Os órgãos genitais do macho foram estud… Show more

“…In slider turtles male, the sexual structures were represented by a pair of testes, epididymides and vas deferens, and a penis located caudally in the coelom. These findings were similar to those reported for reptiles and vertebrates in general (Ashley 1969) and other species of turtles (Malvasio et al 1999, Wyneken 2001, Carvalho et al 2010. However, the absence of attached glands contrasted with mammals (Hafez & Hafez 2004), but was similar to Kinosternon scorpioides (Carvalho et al 2010).…”

“…Mean BM values of turtle sliders from the Wild Animal Triage Center (CETA) of the Tiete Ecological Park were similar to those of other specimens of the same origin described by Gradela et al (2017) and of Trachemys scripta elegans assessed in Brasília/DF (Vieira & Costa 2006), higher than those of Kinosternon scorpioides (Carvalho et al 2010), and lower than those of Trachemys dorbigni (Silveira et al 2012), whereas the minimum and maximum BM values were similar to the minimum and lower than the maximum values found for T. dorbigni (Bager 2003). Body development occurred in a harmonious and positive way between mass, carapace, plastron and height, differing from the findings reported in the study by Gradela et al (2017), in which uniformity in body development occurred positively only between carapace and plastron, and height was correlated only with MPL.…”

“…Although in scorpion mud turtle the vas deferens expands in a shape of a small bulb, this feature was not observed for the same species by Carvalho et al (2010), which does not report the expansion of vas deferens before its insertion on the cloaca. Chaves (2011), however, described the same characteristic, characterizing this expansion in bulb shape on vas deferens of scorpion mud turtle.…”

“…The vas deferens in jurará are a pair of simple structures, with a convoluted path that extends from the epididymis (Viana 2013) to the cloaca, with the function of transporting and storing spermatozoids. The penis, in turn, is grooved, and composed by the root, body and gland, located in the ventral floor of the cloaca, in which it attaches via a retractor muscle, and is protected by the foreskin (Carvalho et al 2010).…”
