tailieunhanh - Morphological and certain morphometrical study of humerus bone of Indian tiger

Present study was conducted on the humerus bones of five adult Indian tigers. The shaft was a four sided structure upto the one third of its length, after which it became three sided because of merging of the anterior surface distally. Olecranon fossa was heart shaped and had several foramina. Greatest length of humerus was ( cm) approximately three times than mid-shaft diameter of the humerus ( cm). | Morphological and certain morphometrical study of humerus bone of Indian tiger 2017 6 2 546-551 International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN 2319-7706 Volume 6 Number 2 2017 pp. 546-551 Journal homepage http Original Research Article http Morphological and Certain Morphometrical Study of Humerus Bone of Indian Tiger Satish K.

The Keywords shaft was a four sided structure upto the one third of its length after which it became three sided because of merging of the anterior surface distally. Olecranon Morphology fossa was heart shaped and had several foramina. Greatest length of humerus was Morphometry Humerus cm approximately three times than mid-shaft diameter of the humerus Indian Tiger. cm . The humeral index was less it means the humerus was elongated bone. To understand the ecology biology of the animal and its role Article Info within the ecosystem the locomotion provides a key factor. The humerus is an Accepted important bone for locomotion for transfer of weight and for propelling the body 15 January 2017 forward by its position it also serves as a protective support for the thorax. The Available Online present study put on record the basic morphologic and morphometric anatomy of 10 February 2017 humerus in tiger which would fill the gap in the scientific literature on the gross anatomy of humerus of tiger. Introduction Tiger the pride of our country command the by the need to achieve the rapid Asian landscape as the top predator immense immobilization of prey thus decreasing the magnificent muscular animal armed with risk of injury and minimizing energy razored .
