“…The medullary cavity was completely divided into two separate parts by the entire radiopaque septum. These findings are agreed upon (Dyce et al., 2010; Getty, 1975; Hifny et al., 1995), in contact with those observed in both Egyptian Baladi and Zebu bulls (El Sharaby et al., 2021) and also in the buffalo (El‐Shafey & Kassab, 2013). However, in cattle, large metacarpal bones result from the fusion of the third and fourth metacarpal bones.…”

“…Our results agree with those of the camel foot (Al‐Redah & Hussin, 2016; Smuts & Bezuidenhout, 1987), but it is disagreed with (Allouch & Alshanbari, 2022) in the dromedary camel, which observed that the metacarpal bone was four in number, two large third (III) and fourth (IV) metacarpal bones, which were quadrilateral in form, compressed from side to side, and two small fused second (II) and five (V) metacarpal bones, which were represented by two ridges on either side of the palmar surface of the large metacarpal bone. However, in cattle, the large metacarpal resulted from the fusion between the third (III) and fourth (IV) metacarpal bones, and there were lateral small metacarpal bones (Dyce et al., 2010) in cattle and (El Sharaby et al., 2021) in the Zebu bull ( Bos Taurus indicus ) and Egyptian Baladi bull ( Bos Taurus Taurus ).…”

“…Our findings were similar to those described by Al‐Redah and Hussin (2016), but the proximal extremity of the ruminant appeared slightly concave for articulation with the distal row of carpal bones (Waad, 2007). In both the Zebu bull ( Bos Taurus indicus ) and Egyptian Baladi bull ( Bos Taurus Taurus ), the proximal extremities of the two large metatarsal bones had two articular facets that were separated by a notch and ridge dorsally (El Sharaby et al., 2021). This unique anatomical feature allows for increased stability and flexibility in the movement of the hind limbs.…”

“…This unique anatomical feature allows for increased stability and flexibility in the movement of the hind limbs. Additionally, the presence of these articular facets suggests a potential adaptation to specific locomotive behaviours in these bull species (El Sharaby et al, 2021). The fused third and fourth metatarsal bones in camels and buffaloes have a vertical bony septum that extends 4-5 cm, partially dividing the 1), third metacarpal bones (2), fourth metacarpal bones (3), medullary septum (4), intertrochlear notch (5), trochlea of the metacarpal articular surface ( 6), tubercle and depression on the abaxial aspect of the metacarpal head ( 7), proximal sesamoid bones (8), proximal phalanx ( 9), middle phalanx (10), distal phalanx (11), fetlock joint ( 12), pastern joint (13), coffin joint ( 14), foot pad (15).…”

“…into two parts by a sagittal notch (Getty, 1975). Meanwhile, the Zebu bull and Egyptian Baladi bull have a distal extremity divided into two trochleae, each formed from two condyles separated by a sagittal ridge (El Sharaby et al, 2021); additionally, this unique anatomical feature allows these bulls to have a greater range of motion in their distal extremities compared to other bull breeds.…”

The study aims to analyse the normal anatomical and radiographical features of the Manus of the southern Aswanian‐adapted Arabian one‐humped camel, providing crucial data for diagnosing and treating various ailments. Our study was applied to 10 cadaver forelimbs of adult male one‐humped camels (4–5 years old) for an explanation of the gross anatomy of the bones of the Manus region from under the carpal bones by using traditional techniques, including the gross anatomical, radiographic and x‐ray (at the dorsopalmar and lateral planes) of the preparation of Manus bones. Our results showed that the large fused (third and fourth) metacarpal bones, in which the fusion extended along the entire length of the bone except at the distal end, diverged to form separate articulations with cross‐ponding digits. As described in all ruminant species, especially the camel, there were two digits, and each digit consisted of three phalanges and two proximal sesamoid bones. Our radiographic x‐ray data revealed that the complete radiopaque septum that completely divided the medullary cavity into two separate parts was clear from the dorsopalmar view, while the lateral view showed the proximal sesamoid bones that were placed over each other and located palmar to the head of the large metacarpal bone. In conclusion, our study reveals the adaptations of the Arabian one‐humped camel to Egyptian conditions, aiding in the early diagnosis of lameness and digit problems and enabling veterinarians and camel owners to better address these issues, thereby improving the overall health and well‐being of these animals.

The 3D render volume reconstruction CT (3D-RVCT) produced detailed images of the PES region, determining its relationships with the surrounding structures. Despite extensive research in veterinary studies on the PES through gross anatomy and CT, there is a lack of studies on the PES of zebu cattle. The study aimed to analyze the PES of Zebu cattle using gross cross-sectional, radiographic, CT, and morphometric methods, with the use of 3D-RVCT to provide anatomical guidance for surgeons and students. The study was performed on sixteen PES regions to provide hard and soft tissues in CT images. Three are five tarsal bones and two large fused (III and IV) metatarsal bones that were completely fused except for their distal extremities, which were divided distally by the intertrochlear notch. The cortical thickness of the metatarsal bone was equal on both sides. The bony septum divided the medullary cavity between the two fused large metatarsal bones in the proximal distal half only and disappeared in the middle part. The reconstruction showed similar sizes in the right and left limbs, confirming the pes bones. The radiographic and CT images could be used as a normal reference for the interpretation of some clinical diseases in the PES. The 3D CT reconstruction of the pes bones was described by various CT oblique dorsal and plantar views. The study focuses on diagnosing PES disorders using CT imaging, improving medical interventions, improving Zebu cattle health outcomes, and empowering students to contribute to veterinary medicine research and advancements.

The research was designed to use computed tomography (CT) with 3D-CT reconstruction imaging techniques and the various anatomical sections—plana transversalia, frontalis, and dorsalia—to describe the anatomical architecture of the Zebu cattle head. Our study used nine mature heads. The CT bone window created detailed images of cranial bones, mandibles, teeth, and hyoid bones. All of the head cavities were evaluated, including the cranial, orbital, oral, auricular, and nasal cavities with their paranasal and conchal sinuses. The septum nasi, attached to the vomer and maxillary bones, did not reach the nasal cavity floor caudally at the level of the second premolar teeth, resulting in a single median channel from the choanae to the nasopharynx. The positions, boundaries, and connections of the paranasal sinuses were clearly identified. There were four nasal conchal sinuses (that were named the dorsal, middle, ethmoidal, and ventral) and five paranasal sinuses that were described as the following: sinus frontalis, maxillaris, palatinorum, and lacrimalis, as defined in the different anatomical sections and computed tomographic images. The complicated sinus frontalis caused the pneumatization of all bones that surrounded the cranial cavity, with the exception of the ethmoidal and body of basisphenoid bones. The sinus maxillaris was connected to the sinus lacrimalis and palatinorum through the maxillolacrimal and palatomaxillary openings, and to the middle nasal meatus through the nasomaxillary opening. Our findings provide a detailed anatomical knowledge for disease diagnosis to internal medicine veterinarians and surgeons by offering a comprehensive atlas of the Zebu cattle anatomy.
