Item Análise da estrutura macro e microscópica das glândulas salivares parótidas em duas espécies de procionídeos:(Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2011-05-30) SANTOS, Amilton César dos; BERTASSOLI, Bruno M.; OLIVEIRA, Vanessa Cristina de; SOUZA, Aline F.; OLIVEIRA, Franciliusa D.; ROSA, Ricardo Alexandre; SILVA, Jodonai B.; CARVALHO, Ana Flávia de; MANÇANARES, Celina Almeida FurlanettoThe coati (Nasua nasua, Linnaeus, 1766) with daytime habits and the hand-pelada (Procyon cancrivorus, G. Cuvier, 1798) with twilight and nighttime habits, are terrestrial mammal species, belonging to the procionid family that are widely found in the Brazilian territory. For this work, three coatis and two hand-peeled adults from the Scientific Creation-CECRIMPAS of the University Center of the Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos (IBAMA 02027.003731 / 04-76) were used. These animals had already been euthanized and used in other research prior to ours. For this research, the parotid salivary glands of coatis and hand-peeled were identified, dissected, extracted, processed and prepared for observation under the optical microscope in the hematoxylin and eosin stains, picrossirius and photocumented. Macroscopically in each of the coatis and hand-peeled, a pair of parotid glands located below the parotid-auricular muscle, ventral to the auricular cartilage, can be seen, where it is in contact with the mandibular glands that are partially covered by the parotid glands. Microscopically, the parotid glands are multilobulated and are constituted by serous acini (parotid) in the coatis. The lobes of the coatis and hand-peeled parotid glands have striated intralobular ducts, lined by simple prismatic epithelium, interlobular ducts that vary their epithelium from simple cubic to bi-stratified cubic and intercalated ducts lined by simple cubic epithelium. They are composed of serous acini, similarly to that of most domestic animals, men and rodents, and unlike the results found in young dogs, lambs and some carnivores such as the ferret that has mixed acinos and some carnivores, which have serous and mucous acinos in their constitution.Item Análise macroscópica das papilas da língua do Quati(Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2010-05-30) SOUZA, Aline Fernandes de; SANTOS, Amilton César dos; OLIVEIRA, Vanessa Cristina de; ROSA, Ricardo Alexandre; CARVALHO, Ana Flavia de; MANÇANARES, Celina de Almeida FurlanettoThe coati (Nasua nasua) is an animal that belongs to the Phylum Chordata, the Mammalia Class, the Carnivorous Order and the Procyonidae Family. These animals have habits of climbing trees to breed, escape from danger and stay overnight and feed on fruits, small vertebrates, insects, nectar, eggs and vegetables. For this work, 3 orthothanized animals were used, from the Scientific Creatory (CECRIMPAS) - UNIFEOB authorized by IBAMA with 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. In this work, the morphology of the coati (Nasua nasua) tongue papillae was described using a macroscopic method of dissection and photographic documentation. The tongues were removed, dissected and divided into three portions: rostral, medium and caudal. Macroscopically, it can be seen that the dorsal surface of the tongue presents filiform, fungiform, ditch and conical papillae distributed in the rostral, middle and caudal regions. According to the results it can be concluded that the coati tongue has macroscopic characteristics similar to canids, varying the number of ditched papillae.Item Análise macroscópica e microscópica da glândula prepucial do Quati(Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2011-05-30) BERTASSOLI, Bruno Machado; SANTOS, Amilton César dos; OLIVEIRA, Vanessa Cristina de; MANÇANARES, Celina Almeida Furlanetto; FRANCIOLLI, André L. R.; CARVALHO, Ana Flávia deThe purpose of this research is to describe the nasua nasua foreskin gland. Eight coatis from the CECRIMPAS Scientific Creatory (UNIFEOB) were used, the preputial glands were analyzed, dissected and described macro and microscopically, in order to establish their morphofunctional classification and thus be able to compare them with those of other species already described in the literature. Glandular tissue samples were collected, stained (hematoxylin and eosin, Toluidine blue, and picrosirius) and analyzed using light microscopy. All results were compiled and photo-documented. In the mentioned species, this gland has as its main function the territorial demarcation. In other animals such as primates, deer and rodents these demarcating glands are located in different anatomical regions, such as between the eyes, in the metatarsal, perianal and sternal. In our result of biometric measurements, we obtained an average of 3.8 ± 1.41 cm in width, 3.15 ± 0.93 cm in height and 10.26 ± 1.89 cm in circumference, and histologically classified as the tubuloalveolar type, with holocrine secretion.Item Características, lobação e segmentação de pulmões dos Quatis(Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2010-05-30) SANTOS, Amilton César dos; OLIVEIRA, Vanessa Cristina de; ROSA, Ricardo Alexandre; CARVALHO, Ana Flávia de; MANÇANARES, Celina Almeida FurlanettoThe coati (Nasua nasua) is a procionid with a flexible snout, small eyes and ears, which have long canines. They are omnivorous animals with diurnal, terrestrial and arboreal habits, which feed mainly on fruits and small invertebrates. 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. The coatis lungs were collected, analyzed macroscopically to establish the pulmonary lobation, where 4 pulmonary lobes (cranial, middle, accessory and caudal) can be found on the right side of the coatis lung and 2 left lobes (cranial and caudal). Then, the hilum was identified to check the bronchial behavior before penetrating the pulmonary parenchyma, and then the dissection started, determining the bronchipulmonary segmentation of the coatis, where it was found that the bronchial tree of the coatis has 24 segmental bronchi.Item Caracterização macroscópica do aparelho reprodutor masculino da Guaiaquica(Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2011-05-30) NASCIMENTO, Jussara Marcolino do; SANTOS, Amilton César dos; PIERINI Naira Caroline Godoy; MANÇANARES, Celina Almeida Furlanetto; CARVALHO, Ana Flávia deThe 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 neotropical skunks today. 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 reproductive biology. The male genital system is the set of organs that form, emit and introduce the fertilizing liquid, sperm or semen. , in the pathways of the female genital system during copulation. For this research, 3 males of adult marquisupials (Gracilinanus Microtarsus) were used, which were already fixed in 10% folmaldehyde solution; provided by the Morphological Sciences Research laboratory of the University Center “Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos” - UNIFEOB. The male reproductive system was dissected and photographed. The information pertinent to the morphology of each organ was analyzed, described and photo documented. It is concluded that the male genital system guaiquica is similar to that of possums and consists of a pair of testicles, epididymis, deferent ducts, prostate, bulbourethral glands and bifid penis.Item Estudo dos dentes de Guaiaquica(Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2011-05-30) LOBO, Luis M.; SANTOS, Amilton César dos; ROSA, Ricardo Alexandre; CARVALHO, Ana Flávia de; MANÇANARES, Celina de Almeida FurlanettoThe 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.

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 teeth together with the gums, the temporomandibular and symphysial joints of the jaws, and also the masticatory muscles, constitute the masticatory apparatus. This work aims at the morphological characterization of the teeth of guaiquica for a better understanding of evolutionary aspects related to marsupials and other mammals.Item 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 FurlanettoThe 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.Item Estudo macroscópico do nervo isquiático do Quati (Nasua nasua) e suas ramificações(Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2009-09-30) SANTOS, Amilton César dos; MANÇANARES, Ana Carolina Furlanetto; BERTOSSOLI, Bruno Machado; CARLOS, Camila Zeferino; SILVA, Flávia Martins da; BENATO, Talita Mascarim; OLIVEIRA, Vanessa Cristina de; ROSA, Ricardo Alexandre; CARVALHO, Ana Flávia de; MANÇANARES, Celina Almeida FurlanettoThe coati (Nasua nasua) is a procionid with a flexible snout, small eyes and ears, which have long canines. They are omnivorous animals with diurnal, terrestrial and arboreal habits, which feed mainly on fruits and small invertebrates. This omnivore has been constituted in an important group among the animals submitted to different studies, which is extremely important even for the understanding of its own evolution, adding to the fact that detailed knowledge of its Anatomy can represent an important factor for their preservation and protection. The objective of this research is, is to know the anatomical aspects of the sciatic nerve, its origin and composition, aiming at a better understanding of the innervation of the pelvic limb of this animal. For this work, 3 orthothanged animals were used, 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 sciatic nerve and its branches were dissected, measured and photo documented. After analyzing the pieces studied, we could observe that the largest nerve in the coati's body is the sciatic nerve, as well as in the feline, swine and goat. This one The nerve derives its fibers essentially from the ventral branches of the lumbar nerves and from the sacral nerves that make up the lumbosacral plexus.Item Estudo macroscópico dos dentes de Guaiaquica(Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2011-05-30) LOBO, Luis M.; SANTOS, Amilton César dos; ROSA, Ricardo Alexandre; CARVALHO, Ana Flávia de; MANÇANARES, Celina de Almeida FurlanettoThe 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.

Five animals from the CECRIMPAS Scientific Creatory (UNIFEOB) were used. The euthanized animals were fixed in a 10% formaldehyde solution for dissection. The respiratory devices of coatis were analyzed, measured and photo-documented. For light microscopy, fragments of the respiratory organs were collected, which were processed according to routine histology techniques and stained with hematoxylin and eosin and also Toluidine blue. In the coati the nose is located in the nasal plane, with a pointed shape and facing upwards. Internally it has the dorsal and ventral nasal concha which are separated by the dorsal and ventral nasal meatus. The larynx has four cartilages: arytenoid, cricoid, epiglottis and thyroid. The trachea contains tracheal rings separated by the tracheal ligament and is internally lined by the ciliated pseudo-stratified epithelial tissue. The lungs are subdivided into lobes by interlobar fissures, the right lung is divided into four lobes and is larger than the left, while the left lung has only two lobes. Microscopically, the primary, secondary and tertiary bronchi have the same constitution as the lining of the trachea. We conclude that the coati respiratory system is similar to the findings described in the literature for domestic carnivores.Item 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 FurlanettoThe 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.

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.Item Morfologia das glândulas mandibulares dos Quatis(Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2010-05-30) SANTOS, Amilton César dos; OLIVEIRA, Vanessa Cristina de; BERTASSOLI, Bruno Machado; ROSA, Ricardo Alexandre; CARVALHO, Ana Flávia de; MANÇANARES, Celina Almeida FurlanettoNasua 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 the study of the mandibular glands, 3 orthothanged animals were used, from the Scientific Creator-CECRIMPAS (IBAMA 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 coatis mandibular salivary glands were identified, dissected, extracted, processed and prepared for observation under an optical microscope in the hematoxylin and eosin stains, toluidine blue, picrossirius and PAS and photocumented. The coatis mandibular glands were found just below the masseter muscle and were 2.9 cm long, 1.5 cm wide and 0.8 cm thick on average. It can be concluded that, macroscopically, the mandibular salivary glands of coatis are similar in appearance and positioning to those of the other carnivores already studied. They are macroscopically multilobed and microscopically multilobulated and are constituted by mixed acini (serocomucous), a few serous acini, have striated ducts (secretors) and intercalated ducts that lead the saliva from the alveoli to the secretory ducts.Item Morfologia das glândulas parótidas dos Quatis(Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2010-05-30) SANTOS, Amilton César dos; OLIVEIRA, Vanessa Cristina de; BERTASSOLI, Bruno Machado; ROSA, Ricardo Alexandre; CARVALHO, Ana Flávia de; MANÇANARES, Celina Almeida FurlanettoNasua nasua (coatis) are animals of daytime habit, widely found in Brazilian territory.

The major salivary glands were identified, dissected, extracted, processed and prepared for observation under an optical microscope in the hematoxylin and eosin stains, toluidine blue, picrosirius and PAS and photocumented. 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 parotid gland is attached to the auricular cartilage of coatis, measured 3.4 cm in cm in length, its width was 3.4 cm and thickness was 0.8 cm on average. This gland is multilobulated and was found to consist of serous acini, striated intralobular ducts, lined by simple prismatic epithelium, interlobular ducts that vary their epithelium from simple cubic to bi-stratified cubic and intercalated ducts lined by simple cubic epithelium.Item 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 FurlanettoThe 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.Item Morfologia macroscópica da traqueia e laringe do gambá(Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2011-05-30) BERTASSOLI, Bruno Machado; SANTOS, Amilton César dos; SILVA, Jodonai Barbosa da; MANÇANARES, Celina Almeida Furlanetto; CARVALHO, Ana Flávia deMetatheria (Marsupialia) is a group formed by seven orders, 19 families and 81 genera, containing numerous species. It is thus organized on the basis of anatomical similarities and physiological, particularly related to reproduction. The baby carrier is located in the caudal abdominal region, has a horseshoe shape and inside the mammary papillae are "U", in number of 11, arranged in pairs except one that was centrally located, and the papillae that were connected to the pups were more developed, in relation to the length, and the rest had an inactive aspect. The respiratory system comprises the lungs and a system of tubes that communicate the lung parenchyma with the outside environment. It is customary to distinguish in the respiratory system, a conductive portion formed by the nasal fossae, nasopharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and bronchioles, and a respiratory portion represented by the terminal portions of the bronchial tree and containing the alveoli, the only place where exchanges take place. gaseous. Between these two there is a short portion, called a transition. The research aimed to describe the macroscopic morphology of the trachea and larynx of opossums (Didelphis sp.). Five opossums, euthanized, from the Unesp breeding farm in Araçatuba were used. The possums' trachea and larynx were measured using a caliper and the larynx cartilages were separated and also measured according to the following parameters: a) weight; b) latero-lateral width; c) cranio-caudal height; d) dorsoventral length. The trachea and larynx of the respective animals were photographed using a Sony Mavica 3.2 MP digital camera. The nomenclature used was referred to according to the International Commitee on Veterinary Gross Anatomical Nomenclature (2005).Item Prevenção e promoção de saúde no infarto agudo do miocárdio(Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2019-06-30) BOAS, Carmélia Vilas; COSTA, Michela D'Arki; GUERRA, Sabrina; SANTOS, Amilton César dos; ROSSI, Cintia de Lima; SOUZA, Carlos Alberto Colozzo de; SANTOS, Odair José dosThis study aims to clarify a problem that affects a large part of the population, acute myocardial infarction.

Due to the lack of studies related to anatomical-surgical segmentation and the morphology of the bronchial tree, the objective of this work was to characterize the bronchial tree macro and microscopically for future comparisons in other studies with wild animals. For this work, four euthanized animals (coatis) were used, from CECRIMPAS / UNIFEOB- IBAMA 02027.003731 / 04-76. The bronchiopulmonary segments were identified according to their position pattern in relation to the pulmonary lobe, and the microscopic analysis of the bronchial tree was performed using a routine H.E (hematoxylin / eosin) staining technique. In the lungs of the coatis, 24 bronchiopulmonary segments were found: four in the left cranial lobe; five in the left caudal lobe; three in the right cranial lobe; three in the right middle lobe; four in the right accessory lobe and five in the right caudal lobe. It was found in this work that the lobation of the lungs of coatis are similar to that of domestic carnivores and that microscopically the bronchial tree of coatis is similar to that of the other mammals described in the literature consulted, with great variations in its architecture according to the bronchial tree. branches, decreasing in diameter and thickness of its walls.
