The Morphometric and Stereologic Investigation of Metapodium in Male Hemshin Sheep
Journal Title: Mehmet Akif Ersoy Üniversitesi Sağlık Bilimleri Enstitüsü Dergisi - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
This study was aimed to evaluate metapodium as morphometrical and sterological in the Hemshin sheep breeds. In the study, 10 male Hemshin sheep’s metapodium with oneyear age were used. Following maceration, 16 morphometrical and 3 stereological, totally 19 measurements were obtained from each metapodium. Stereologically, cavum medullare and bone volume were measured using the Cavalieri principle. The metapodial volumes were calculated by collecting these two values. In the study, the maximum lengt of metacarpus and metatarsus were determined as 134.40 mm and 139.16 mm, respectively. According to the obtained data, the volume of metacarpus and metatarsus were determined as 26.88 cm3 and 36.39 cm3, respectively. The difference between metacarpus and metatarsus were found statistically significant when compared with total bone volume and bone volume (P< 0.05).As a result, it is thought that the study will be contribute to the morphometric and stereological studies on the metapodium in sheep and will be a source of data for archaeological excavations
