The Cellular Composition and Glia –Neuron Ratio in the Spinal Cord of a Human and a Nonhuman Primate: Comparison With Other Species and Brain Regions
ABSTRACT The cellular composition of brains shows largely conserved, gradual evolutionary trends between species. In the primate spinal cord, however, the glia–neuron ratio was reported to be greatly increased over that in the rodent spinal cord. Here, we re‐examined the cellular composition of the spinal cord of one human and one nonhuman primate species by employing two different counting methods, the isotropic fractionator and stereology. We also determined whether segmental differences in cellular composition, possibly reflecting increased fine motor control of the upper extremities, may explain a sharply increased...

Osteology and radiological anatomy of the thoracic limbs of Temminck's ground pangolin (Smutsia temminckii)
This study describes the osteology and radiological anatomy of the thoracic limbs of this threatened species. Thoracic limbs from four Temminck's ground pangolins, which succumbed from electrocution or natural causes, were digitally radiographed in situ. The individual bones were then cleaned, described and digitally radiographed. The skeleton of the thoracic limbs revealed a similar number and arrangement of bones compared to that of domestic carnivores. The bones were robust and displayed numerous open epiphyseal lines. The latter provide an estimate of sexual maturity and should not be confused with fractures in injured...

Ontogeny of the Postcranial Axial Skeleton of Melanosuchus niger (Crocodylia, Alligatoridae)
This study proposes the description of the development of the postcranial axial skeleton, including vertebrae, gastralium, ribs, sternum, and interclavicle, in Melanosuchus niger. Six nests were marked and two eggs removed from each nest at 24‐hr intervals until hatching. For posthatching evaluation, 30 hatchlings were kept in captivity and one exemplar was euthanized at three‐day intervals. Samples were diaphanized using potassium hydroxide (KOH), alizarin red S, and Alcian blue. A routinely generally used method was applied for histological evaluation. It was difficult to define in which vertebrae the development of ...

Anatomical variations of the human cochlea determined from micro ‐CT and high‐resolution CT imaging and reconstruction
This study examined these variations using a reconstructed fusion model of the skull and temporal bone. The 3D digital model of the temporal bone was reconstructed from multiple axial micro‐CT scans of temporal bone and high resolution CT (HRCT) of the skull from 15 cadavers. A skull model was reconstructed and merged with the reconstructed temporal bone. The 3D relationship between the cochlea and the skull's mid‐sagittal plane was analyzed. The α and β angle of the cochlear autogenous rotation and bottom position, respectively, further subdivided the cochlear spatial orientation. The relationship between the base o...
