Nerves innervating articular capsule of elbow joints in Turkish shepherd dogs (Karabaş - Kangal), curly sheep and native hair goats: an anatomic study

Türk çoban köpeği, Kıvırcık koyunu ve Yerli kıl keçisinde gerçekleştirilen bu çalışma ile articulatio cubiti’nin capsula articularis’ini innerve eden sensible sinirlerin haritası oluşturularak türler arası farklılıkların ortaya konması amaçlandı. Çalışmada cinsiyet farkı gözetmeksizin 5’er adet Türk çoban köpeği, Kıvırcık koyunu ve Yerli kıl keçisi kullanıldı. Kadavralarda dirsek eklem kapsülünü innerve eden sinirlerin ramus articularis’leri diseke edildi. Yapılan makroskobik ve subgros incelemede dirsek eklem kapsülünün n. radialis, n. medianus, n. ulnaris ve n. musculocutaneus tarafından innerve edildiği saptandı. Nervus radialis’in ramus articularis’lerinin genel olarak craniolateral’den 1; n. medianus’un Türk çoban köpeklerinde cranial’den 1, Kıvırcık koyunu ve Yerli kıl keçilerinde craniomedial’den 1; n. ulnaris’in Türk çoban köpeklerinde medial’den 1, Kıvırcık koyunu ve Yerli kıl keçilerinde caudomedial’den 1; n. musculocutaneus’un ise cranial’den Türk çoban köpeklerinde 2, Kıvırcık koyunu ve Yerli kıl keçilerinde 1 kol ile capsula articularis’te sonlandığı tespit edildi. Sonuç olarak, Türk çoban köpeği ve Yerli kıl keçilerinde capsula articularis’lere giden ramus articularis’lerin sayısının Kıvırcık koyununa oranla daha fazla olduğu görüldü. Bu iki türün Kıvırcık koyununa göre daha atletik ve hareketli olmasının, söz konusu farklılığı oluşturmuş olabileceği kanısına varıldı.

Türk çoban köpeği (Karabaş -Kangal), Kıvırcık koyunu ve yerli kıl keçisinde articulatio cubiti'nin capsula articularis'ini innerve eden sinirler:anatomik bir çalışma

This study was performed to map the sensible nerves (n.) innervating articular capsule of elbow joints in Turkish shepherd dog (Karabash-Kangal), curly sheep (ovis aries) and native hair goat (capra hircus) and to demonstrate the interspecies variations. Five adult Turkish shepherd dogs, curly sheeps and native hair goats each of different genders were used. Rami articulares of the nerves innervating articular capsule of elbow joints were dissected after routine cadaver preparation methods. Macroscopic and subgross examination revealed that articular capsule of elbow joints was innervated by radial, median, ulnar and musculocutaneous nerves. The number and directions of branches of the nerves ending at articular capsule were as follows: one craniolateral in all species for radial nerve; one cranial in Turkish shepherd dog and one craniomedial in curly sheep and native hair goat for median nerve; one medial in Turkish shepherd dog and one caudomedial in curly sheep and native hair goat for ulnar nerve; and two cranial in Turkish shepherd dog and one cranial in curly sheep and native hair goat for musculocutaneus nerve. As a conclusion, we observed that the number of rami articulares innervating articular capsule was higher in Turkish shepherd dog and native hair goat than in curly sheep. This difference is likely the result of the more athletic body structure and the capacity to move faster of these species than the curly sheep.
