    Estudo macroscópico da glândula de cheiro do Quati (Nasua nasua)
    (Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2010-05-30) BERTASSOLI, Bruno Machado; OLIVEIRA, Vanessa C. de; SANTOS, Amilton César dos; CARVALHO, Ana Flávia de; MANÇANARES, Celina de Almeida Furlanetto
    The coati, is an animal with wide distribution in South America, occurring from Colombia, Venezuela to the north of Uruguay and Argentina. The general characteristics of the mamalia class are the body covered with hair (few in some) changed periodically and skin with many glands (sebaceous, sweat, odoriferous and mammary). The coati has a preputial gland, whose main function is to demarcate territory. Other animals also have demarcating glands, however, in different anatomical regions. Coatis are very territorial, and the males demarcate their territory through fights that cause serious injuries due to their cutting teeth, and secretions, among them, secretions from the preputial gland. Therefore, this work aims to study this gland, characterizing it morphologically and relating it to the reproductive behavior of males of this species. For the present study, six adult male coatis were used, provided by the scientific breeder CECRIMPAS (UNIFEOB). The preputial glands were photographed and measured, for their macroscopic characterization. As a result under macroscopic observation, the preputial glands were arranged circularly to the foreskin, forming a large increase in the region. Numerous glandular secretory ostia could be seen macroscopically when the gland was pressed to collect its secretion. The glandular secretion was stored in the gland in large quantities and had a white and viscous color.

    Morfologia dos músculos superficiais do Quati (Nasua nasua)
    (Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2009-09-30) SANTOS, Amilton César dos; OLIVEIRA, Vanessa C. de; ROSA, Ricardo Alexandre; CARVALHO, Ana Flávia de; MANÇANARES, Celina Almeida Furlanetto
    The coati is an animal that belongs to the Phylum Chordata, the Mammalia Class, the Carnivorous Order and the Procyonidae Family. The striking feature of the Procyonidae family is the presence of five digits in the paws, that is, these animals are classified as plantigrade, being able to perform manual movements in different directions. He has habits of climbing trees to breed, escape danger and stay overnight. It feeds on fruits, small vertebrates, insects, nectar, eggs and vegetables. For this work, 3 orthothanized animals were used, coming from the Scientific Creatory (CECRIMPAS) - UNIFEOB authorized by IBAMA as Process: nº 02027.003731 / 04-76. The techniques used were latex injection into the abdominal aorta to replenish the arterial bed, followed by fixation in a 10% formaldehyde solution. Muscles are individualized structures that cross one or more joints and by their contraction are able to transmit movements. In the coati the superficial muscles are: platysma, cutaneous trunk, orbicularis eye, orbicularis mouth, zygomatic, masseter, nasolabial lifter, pectoralis, abdominal, deltoid, brachycephalic, great dorsal, triceps brachial, biceps brachii, extensors, flexors, brachial, semitendinosus, semimembranosus, sartorius, biceps femoris, quadriceps, tensor fascia lata, gluteus. In this species studied, anatomical adaptations were found in the brachial and pelvic muscles that developed more than the other species (Puma, Alpaca, Dog, Cat), due to their climbing habit.
