The aim of this study was to comparatively, morphometrically and macroanatomically investigate skeleton appendiculare. Atotal of 24 goose cadavers were used. Scapula length was 107.31 ± 1.05 mm in female geese; it was 116.63 ± 0.65 mm in male geese.While the length of the os coracoideum was 78.5 ± 0.6 mm in female geese; it was detected as 87 ± 0.8 mm in male geese. The claviculalength was 66.90 ± 0.71 mm in female geese and it was 73.39 ± 0.59 mm in male geese and it was determined that both claviculashaped furcula with a distinct curvature. While the length of the humerus in female geese was 175.02 ± 1.59 mm; it was measured as191.28 ± 1.44 mm in male ones. While the mean ulna height was 162.60 ± 1.26 mm in female geese; it was determined as 178.84 ± 0.83mm in male geese. The mean radius length was measured as 154.20 ± 1.63 mm in female geese, it was 169.75 ± 1.31 mm in male geese.It was detected that os carpi radiale was in a triangular shape, os carpi ulnare was in the form of a pipe. It was determined that theheight of carpometacarpus was 94.57 ± 0.75 mm in female geese; 100.95 ± 1.03 mm was in male geese. Pelvis length was measured as154.27 ± 1.81 mm in female geese; it was 169.91 ± 1.68 mm in male geese. While femur length was detected as 86.85 ± 0.98 mm infemale geese; it was 93.87 ± 1.12 mm in male geese. While tibiotarsus length was 160.94 ± 1.88 mm in female geese; it was 174.20 ±1.28 mm in male ones. While the tarsometatarsus length was 93.15 ± 1.19 mm in female geese; it was measured as 101.64 ± 0.88 mmin male geese. As a result, in this study, thought that obtained findings will contribute in scientific research, evaluations of sexualdimorphism, zooarchaeological studies and operations on poultry animals.

Background: This study determined the anatomical structure of the salpinx and ovary of the Anatolian wild goat (C. aegagrus aegagrus). Materials and Methods: The salpinges and ovaries from four wild goats of similar ages were used. These goats were brought to the Kafkas University Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center (Kars, Turkey) for various reasons such as traffic accidents or firearm injury, but either could not be saved or were euthanized. Results: The mean length of the ovary was 13.22 ± 1.27 mm, width was 8.46 ± 0.88 mm, thickness was 5.67 ± 0.79 mm, and weight was 0.59 ± 0.17 g. The mean length of the salpinx was 58.11 ± 14.02 mm, width was 0.80 ± 0.22 mm, thickness was 0.41 ± 0.01 mm, and weight was 0.30 ± 0.08 g. The salpinx consisted of three different regions (infundibulum, ampulla, and isthmus). These regions consisted of tunica mucosa, tunica muscularis, and tunica serosa. Prismatic epithelial cells were observed in the lamina epithelialis of the tunica mucosa in every region, but the prismatic fimbriae cells occurred most in the infundibulum. Conclusion: The data resulting from this study regarding anatomical and histological structures of the salpinx and ovary in the genital system organs of Anatolian wild goat will support other studies seeking to improve reproductive efficiency and eliminate the danger of extinction of this species.

Rabbits are widely used in biomedical and veterinary research due to some physiological and anatomical similarities to humans. Furthermore, their controllable breeding requirements make them suitable for laboratory experiments. Ten male rabbits were used in the presented study. The arteries supplying the upper digestive system organs were dissected. Morphometric and macroanatomical findings of these organs were taken and organs were imaged using X‐ray. In rabbits, the upper lip was found to have a cleft (philtrum). The number of palatine rugae on the palate was determined to be 13 pairs. The average linguae length in rabbits was measured as 52.39±1.75 mm. Torus of the tongue and median sulcus of the tongue was seen prominently on the tongue. Four types of papillae were macroanatomically detected on the linguae. These were filiform papillae, fungiform papillae, vallate papillae, and foliate papillae. The tongue muscles and arteries were dissected and named. The parotid gland was 28.4 mm in length, 57.245 mm in width, and 44.58 g in weight. Total oesophagus length was determined as 15.85 cm and weight was 2.41 g. As a result, this study contributed to the anatomy literature on rabbit upper digestive system organs. In addition, the detailed data obtained will form the basis for future studies and operations on the rabbit upper digestive system.

The Red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is the largest of the true foxes and the most abundant wild member of the carnivora. This study aimed to determine the anatomical structure of the cervix uteri, corpus uteri and cornu uteri of the Red foxes. Animals that were taken to the Kafkas University Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center, Kars, Turkey, because of various reasons, such as traffic accidents and firearm injuries, were used. The uterus of four Red foxes of similar ages, which could not be rescued by the Center despite all interventions, were dissected. Measurements were taken from the cervix uteri, corpus uteri and right-left cornu uteri using digital calipers. The weights of each organ section were measured using a precision scale. The mean length of the cervix uteri 11.54 ± 1.56 mm, width was 4.46 ± 0.52 mm, thickness was 5.18 ± 0.08 mm, and weight was 1.18 ± 0.04 g. The mean length of the corpus uteri was 20.68 ± 3.06 mm, width was 2.88 ± 0.50 mm, thickness was 2.22 ± 0.19 mm, and weight was 0.90 ± 0.01 g. The mean length of the cornu uteri was 79.85 ± 0.86 mm, width was 4.85 ± 0.79 mm, thickness was 4.33 ± 0.18 mm, and weight was 2.33 ± 0.12 g. In conclusion, information about the uterus of the female genital track of the Red foxes, was given in this study. We believe that the findings of this study may be useful for surgical and gynecological operations to be performed in red foxes and studies to be conducted on this subject.
