A Morphological Study on Iridocorneal Angle and Ciliary Body of the Anatolian Shepherd Dogs (Canis familiaris)

Bu çalışma diğer hayvanlarla karşılaştırma yapmak üzere Anadolu Çoban köpeği gözündeki morfoloj ik yapıları belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Beş yetişkin erkek köpekten elde edilen bu önemli duyu organı ışık ve taramalı elektron mikroskobu ile incelenmiştir. Anadolu Çoban köpeğinin korneası merkezde 435, periferde ise yaklaşık 501 mikron kalınlığındaydı. İrisin anterior ve posterior epitelinde yoğun pigmentasyon gözlendi. İridokorneal açının siliyer aralığı büyük ve çok gelişmiş değildi. Siliyer cismin başka bir bileşeni olan siliyer uzantılar belirgin şekilde demetler oluşturdu. Sonuç olarak, hem iridokorneal bölgenin hem de siliyer cismin morfoloj ik özelliklerinin tanımlanması fonksiyonel ilişkinin yorumlanmasına katkı sağlayarak daha sonra yapılacak deneysel çalışmalara da faydalı olabileceği düşünülmektedir.

Anadolu Çoban Köpeklerinde (Canis familiaris) Siliyer Cisim ve İridokorneal Açı Üzerine Morfolojik Bir Çalışma

This study was carried out to determine morphological structures of Anatolian Shepherd dog eye to compare with other animals. This important sensory organ from five adult male dogs were investigated by light microscopic and scanning electron microscopic analyses. Anatolian Shepherd dog cornea is about 435 (center) to 501 (periphery) µm thick. The dense pigmentation observed in the anterior and posterior iridal epithelium. The ciliary cleft of the iridocorneal angle was not large and well-developed. The ciliary processes, another component of the ciliary body, formed the conspicuous bundles. In conclusion, it is considered that the description of the morphological properties of both the iridocorneal region and the ciliary body would contribute to the interpretation of the functional correlation, thus to future experimental studies to be conducted in this field.
