Morfologia cardíaca em caprinos.

Abstract

Cardiac morphology in goats. This study aimed to enrich the data on cardiac morphology goats. 30 hearts SRD goats were used, 10 for assessment of topographic relationships of the heart and description of the morphology of the organ; 10 hearts injected with commercial gelatin cavities, sectioned transversely them to establish the volumetric proportions of the components of the heart, applying is counting grid points in the basal surfaces; 5 hearts natural latex was injected, which were subsequently dissected and 5 vinyl, red dyed acetate was injected, corroded in acid for the manufacture of vascular casts, these two groups were used to define the territories irrigation of the coronary arteries, cardiac anatomicalsurgical identifying segments among the animals studied. It was observed that the heart anatomy and topography presented as described in the literature for the species. Volumetric proportion of the study it was observed that the proportion of muscle was 75,87% and the proportion of wells was 24,12%. The vascular study, we could identify, on average, 13 ventricular segments.
