Computed tomography and cross-sectional anatomy of the thorax in clinically normal dogs

Abstract

Because CT images provide detailed information on most structures of the canine thorax, results of our study could be used as a guide for evaluation of CT images of the thorax of dogs with thoracic diseases.

The effect of stomach s different fullness levels on the topography of intestines in New Zealand rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus L.)

“…Ileum is the shortest and last part of small intestines and opens to large intestines through valva ileocolica (Feeney at al 1991, Flecknell 1992, Evans 1993, Evans and Delahunda 1996, Dursun 2005. In rabbits, the last part of ileum has an open formation that has a round shape, is half-enlarged and is as called sacculus rotundus which is not found in other animals (Flecknell 1992, DeRycke at al 2005. Cecum is qualified as the first part of large intestines.…”

“…The large part of duedonum is found in the upper right side of abdominal cavity (except for dogs) as being hanged with mesoduodenum. During its course, duedonum shapes ampulla duodeni, pars cranialis, flexura duodeni cranialis, pars descendens, flexura duodeni caudalis, pars transversa, pars ascendens flexura duodenojejunalis, and reaches its end after combining with jejunum (Fike at al 1980, Feeney at al 1991, Evans 1993, Evans and Delahunda 1996, Dursun 2002, DeRycke et al 2005, Dursun 2005. Jejunum is spiral shape of small intestines that are found in the ventrocaudal area of cavum abdominis (Evans andDelahunda 1996, Dursun 2005).…”

“…It occupies a large area in rabbits and therefore creates a spiral shape. The narrower last part of cecum, which is composed of three sections, goes through the dorsal position and reaches backwards; this part with thick walls is called as processus vermiformis or appendix (Flecknell 1992, DeRycke at al 2005. Colon, which comprises the big part of large intestines in rabbits, leaves cecum in sacculus rotundus area which is largely distinguished with its marsupialized walls.…”

“…Colon, which comprises the big part of large intestines in rabbits, leaves cecum in sacculus rotundus area which is largely distinguished with its marsupialized walls. The first part of colon is assumed as the cecum structure that constitutes ampulla cecalis coli (DeRycke 2005). Colon is found in the dorsal area of the abdominal cavity.…”

“…Colon is found in the dorsal area of the abdominal cavity. Colon is divided into two 2 parts as colon ascendens and colon desEurasian J Vet Sci, 2017, 33, 1, 8-15 cendens (Fox 1984) or into 3 parts as colon ascendens, colon transversum and colon descendens (Feeney at al 1991, Evans 1993, Evans and Delahunda 1996, Gezici and Eken 2001, Dursun 2002, DeRycke et al 2005, Dursun 2005). …”
