Análise macro e microscópica do pâncreas e fígado de gambá

Abstract

16 animals from natural death were used in different situations. The techniques used, often traumatic, were injection of 10% formaldehyde followed by injection of latex (blue for the veins and red for the arteries) in the jugular vein and abdominal aorta. The results showed that the liver was dome-shaped in the cranial abdominal region, being macroscopically composed of 5 lobes and histologically similar to other domestic animals. The pancreas is dispersed and has an irregular surface. Its vascularization consisted of pancreatic duodenal, cranial and caudal arteries. Histologically, it presented characteristics similar to the pancreas of domestic species.
