Conservation of Body Sections and Organs of the Narrownose Smooth-hound, Mustelus schmitti (Pisces, Chondrichthyes), by Silicone Injection at Room Temperature to be Used in Comparative Anatomy learning
Abstract:Comparative Anatomy deals with the study of the ontogenetic and phylogenetic changes of the vertebrates, requiring complementing the theoretical aspects with the observation of structures in specimens belonging to different taxonomic groups. The aim of the present study was to test the injection of silicone at room temperature in organs and trunk sections of Mustelus schmitti as an alternative to the plastination technique. Samples consisted in brain, eyes, heart, proximal end of the ventral aorta, digestive t… Show more
