Origem e distribuição do nervo femoral do mocó, Kerodon rupestris (Cavidae)

Abstract: Pesq. Vet. Bras. 31(Supl. , a rodent mammal from the Cavidae family is highly adapted to conditions of heat and shortage of water and food, mainly in the periods of great drought that periodically devastate the semi-arid of Northeast Brazil. In the literature, few data are found regarding the functional anatomy of the rock cavy, especially involving the anatomy of the nervous system. We aimed to investigate the origin of the femoral nerve close to the intervertebral foramina, its location and distribution for … Show more

“…Oliveira et al (2011) observed that the origin of the femoral nerve in the rock cavy (Kerodon rupestris) in general changed between the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh lumbar spinal nerves, presenting symmetry at the source between the right and left antimeres in 80% and asymmetry in 20% of specimens, resembling in part the results obtained in this study.…”

“…Finally, in the giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla), Souza et al observed that the femoral nerves are distributed to the major and minor psoas, lateral and medial iliac, pectineus, magnus adductor, sartorius and femoral quadriceps muscles, similar in part to the results obtained by Oliveira et al (2011) for the rock cavy (Kerodon rupestris) and for the rabbit in this study.…”

“…The gerbil´s femoralis nerve derives from L 3 -L 4 branches or L 2 -L 4 and contrasts description by Lacerda et al (2006) and Oliveira et al (2011), Oliveira et al (2014 and Tonini et al (2014) with regard to the cavy, Spix's yellow toothed-cavy and paca, respectively, whose origins derive from L 5 -L 6 .…”

“…They belong to the Caviidae family, Caviinae subfamily (ADRIAN; SACHSER, 2011;RODRIGUES et al, 2013) and Kerodon genus (THOMAZ et al, 2006). Their habit consist of stalking in the afternoon or at night to seek leaves, buds, twigs, fruits, bark, roots and tubers from the shrubs of the Caatinga (OLIVEIRA et al, 2011).…”
