    Anatomia microscópica do sistema reprodutor feminino do Tamanduá Bandeira
    (Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2011-05-30) GARCIA, Rafael de Carvalho; BRANCO, Èrika Renata; LIMA, Ana Rita de; OLIO, Rennan Lopes; WENCESLAU, Cristiane Valverde; MANÇANARES, Celina Almeida Furlanetto; THOMAZ, Juliana Mantovani; CARVALHO, Ana Flávia de
    The giant anteater is a large animal and can be very aggressive with its claws if disturbed, it belongs to the Xenarthra Order, Family Myrmecophagidae, which are toothless members, and therefore called edentats. Some reports have been made about this species, but many relevant data have not been published, emphasizing basic concepts of morphology and biometrics, which could be extremely useful for the development of reproductive biotechnologies, aiming at the preservation of the species. For this study, two animals donated by UFRA – PA were used, in which the microscopic characteristics of the female reproductive system were analyzed, in order to clarify the peculiar aspects of the species. The results obtained reveal that the ovaries, fallopian tubes and uterus are similar histologically to those of domestic animals.

    A língua: revisão enfocada no estudo da Guaiaquica
    (Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2011-05-30) LOBO, Luis M.; OLIO, Rennan Lopes; SANTOS, Amilton César dos; ROSA, Ricardo Alexandre; CARVALHO, Ana Flávia de; MANÇANARES, Celina Almeida Furlanetto
    The guaiquica (Gracilinanus microtarsus), belongs to the family Didelphidae, which is a very important family among marsupials, because in addition to containing many species (like opossums), it represents the model group of marsupials. Marsupial ancestors, from the Cretaceous period, had morphological characteristics very similar to those of today's Neotropical skunks. For this reason, their reproductive adaptations are considered directly related to primitive marsupials, and this similarity is of great interest for the comparative study of their biology. The tongue is a very important organ for the performance of functions such as chewing, swallowing, speech, and participates in functional stimuli that act on the growth and development of the face. The tongue extends into the oropharynx, and occupies most of the oral cavity. It has a root and body that are fixed, and a free apex. It is a muscular organ, capable of performing precise and vigorous movements, such as hygiene, handling food in the mouth, and in the speech articulation. Such mobility is obtained by fixing the base, leaving the apex loose to move in and out of the oral cavity. Therefore, in view of the importance of this organ and the ignorance of the analyzed species, this study aims to compile the morphological data of the species contained in the literature, and to obtain more information about the morphology of the guaiquica.
