Estudo macroscópico de estômago de Mocó

Abstract

Four stomachs were used for macroscopic analysis. Stomachs were measured, photographed and dissected according to biometry and anatomy techniques. The 4 stomachs were similar in terms of their external and internal anatomical characteristics, with greater, lesser curvature and cardiac, funicular and pyloric regions, respectively. The shape was also similar to that of other domestic animals, and there was no statistically significant difference between the equal regions measured or in terms of their height, however, there was variation between two different structures (greater and lesser curvature). It was concluded that the stomachs of mocós are anatomically similar to those of other domestic monogastrics and rodents already studied.
