Descrição anatômica dos músculos e veias do membro pélvico de macacos-prego (Sapajus libidinosus).

Abstract

Capuchin monkeys Sapajus libidinosus species are known as the most robust and intelligent monkeys of the New World. The scarcity of data available in the literature on the anatomy of the species has generated losses in the execution procedure for appropriate veterinary treatment. Among the anatomical aspects not yet reported in the literature, stand out the anatomy of muscles and the knowledge of peripheral vessels of larger caliber, particularly the pelvic limb. To contribute to the veterinary clinic of these animals, providing improvement and enrichment of data, this study aimed to describe anatomical muscle and peripheral veins subject to venipuncture pelvic member of capuchin monkeys (Sapajus libidinosus). For this we used 10 capuchin monkeys donated by CETAS/IBAMA/PB to the Anatomy Laboratory of the Veterinary UFCG. The dissection was performed in the pelvic limb for identification and description of the superficial and deep muscles. After muscle description, was followed with identification and dissection of veins the superficial larger caliber likely to venipuncture, as well as their vases trainers, which were later described. The muscles were observed individually and classified according to the number of origins, the muscular abdomen, insertion as well, the arrangement of its fibers. For the veins, the best vases to the procedures of blood collection and catheterization for fluid procedure were indicated. It was observed that the architecture in the pelvic limb muscle of the capuchin was similar to muscles described in baboons and humans, with a predominance of muscles with parallel fibers. Concerning the superficial vascularization of the pelvic limb, were identified as veins possible of be puncture the caudal saphenous vein and the femoral vein, presenting pathways in which they presenting more caliber and fixed.
