    Estudo macroscópico do aparelho respiratório do Quati (Nasua nasua)
    (Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2010-05-30) OLIVEIRA, Vanessa Cristina de; SANTOS, Amílton Cesar dos; BERTASSOLI, Bruno Machado; ROSA, Ricardo Alexandre; CARVALHO, Ana Flávia de; MANÇANARES, Celina Almeida Furlanetto
    The coati (Nasua nasua) is a long-snouted procionid, small eyes and ears, which have long canines. Their color varies according to body regions, they are omnivorous animals with diurnal, terrestrial and arboreal habits, which feed mainly on fruits and small invertebrates. For the macroscopic description of the coati respiratory system (Nasua nasua), 5 orthothanged animals were used, which were used in other research carried out at this institution, from the Scientific Creatory (CECRIMPAS) - UNIFEOB authorized by IBAMA as the Process: nº 02027.003731 / 04-76 . These animals were already fixed in a 10% aqueous solution of formaldehyde. The structures were identified, dissected and photo-documented. The respiratory system comprises the lungs in a system of tubes that communicate the lung parenchyma with the external environment. In the coati the nose is located in a nasal plane with a pointed shape and facing top, with its nostrils, it has the dorsal nasal concha and the ventral nasal concha, with dorsal and ventral nasal meatus.The larynx has the four cartilages the arytenoid, cricoid, epiglottis and The trachea is a cartilaginous tube that contains tracheal rings. The lungs are subdivided into lobes by deep interlobar fissures, the right lung is divided into 4 lobes and is larger than the left while the left lung has only 2 lobes. We have concluded so far that the coati respiratory system is similar to the findings described in the literature for domestic carnivores.

    Morfologia das glândulas salivares maiores do Quati (Nasua nasua)
    (Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2009-09-30) OLIVEIRA, Vanessa Cristina de; SANTOS, Amílton Cesar dos; ROSA, Ricardo Alexandre; CARVALHO, Ana Flávia de; MANÇANARES, Celina de Almeida Furlanetto
    Nasua nasua (coatis) are animals of daytime habit, widely found in Brazilian territory. These animals belong to the masked family as well as the naked hand. Its behavior is diurnal and its characteristic physical elements are the trumpet-shaped snout and the long tail used to maintain balance. For this work, 3 orthothanized animals were used, coming from the Scientific Creatory (CECRIMPAS) -UNIFEOB authorized by IBAMA as the 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. The major salivary glands were identified, dissected and photo-documented. Macroscopically, a pair of parotid glands can be seen located below the parotid-auricular muscle, ventral to the auricular cartilage and close to the mandibular gland. The submandibular glands were found just below the masseter muscle and the sublingual glands located under the mucous membrane of the mouth, between the body of the tongue and branch of the mandible, the zygomatics were shaped like a “half moon”, which was in close contact with the zygomatic arch. The glands presented on average: a mandibular gland 2.9 cm long, 1.5 cm wide and 0.8 cm thick; the parotid gland with a length of 3.4 cm, its width is 3.4 cm and thickness 0.8 cm on average; the zygomatic gland is 2.4 cm long and 0.7 cm wide; the monostomatic sublingual gland measures 1.6 cm while the polystomatic gland measures 1.7 cm, with a thickness of 0.1 cm. They consisted of 2 pairs, 1 on each side. It can be concluded that the coati salivary glands are similar to those of the other carnivores already studied.
