Lobação e segmentação broncopulmonar de saguis-de-tufos-brancos (Callithrix jacchus).

Abstract

Lobation and broncopulmonar segmentation of Common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus). The Common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) are small primates belonging to the Cebidae family, Callitrichinae subfamily and are more known and common in adaptation to captivity. The shortage of data available in the literature about the anatomy of these primates and other wildlife interfers on the application of clinnical, anesthethic and therapeutical procedures, appropriate surgical and therapeutic. To get acquainted with the anatomical variations of lobation and broncopulmonar segmentation, it was dissected lungs of ten corpses of adult common marmoset, five male and four female. In marmosets, the right lung presented cranial lobe; middle lobe; caudal lobe and accessory lobe; and the left lung, the cranial and caudal lobes. The fissures are very prominent in both lungs. The right main bronchus issued independent branches, one for each lobe, and the caudal lobe followed straight as the continuation of this bronchus and the same was observed in the left main bronchus. For the broncopulmonar segmentation, the right lung has presented on the cranial lobe varied in a range of one to five branches; in the middle lobe was a single branch; the caudal was three to five branches and the accessory was one to three. In the left lung, the cranial lobe had a range of one to five and the caudal was three to four branches.
