“…In terms of the cartilage type, epithelial tissue, the presence or absence of glands, the results of the present study were most consistent with the results provided by Kamali et al. ( 2015 ) who studied the nictitating membrane in the small Indian mongoose. The Harderian gland does not exist in all species.…”

“…The third eyelid plays a very important role in maintaining the health of the eye surface. It is also capable of protecting the cornea of some predators such as cats from injuries when they move among the vegetation as well as during predation (Kamali et al., 2015 ). The third eyelid in the dromedary has a wide anterior part and its palpebral surface is convex.…”

BackgroundThe third eyelid in animals plays an important role in maintaining eye health. Like other organs of the body, the third eyelid can be afflicted with minor or deep injuries, inflammations or even tumours in different species.ObjectiveThe current study investigates the morphological and histological characteristics of the third eyelid in hedgehogs.MethodsEight healthy adult hedgehogs (male and female) weighing 500–700 g were included in this study. Deceased animals were used for this study. Few incisions were applied around the eye and eye socket. The eye was removed, and the samples were fixated in 10% formalin solution to prepare for the histological study. To evaluate the morphological characteristics, the third eyelid was placed in 2% and 4% formalin solutions.ResultsThe histological study revealed that the third eyelid cartilage is an elastic cartilage and includes chondroblasts and chondrocytes. The cells of this cartilage were either distributed individually or in isogenic groups. The bulbar and palpebral surfaces of the eyelids were devoid of any glands and were covered with a non‐keratinized stratified squamous epithelium. The anatomical examination also showed that the third eyelid had an oval‐shaped cartilage.ConclusionsComparing the results of this study with reports on other rodents showed that the morphological and histological structure of the cartilage in the hedgehog's third eyelid is mostly like the structure of this tissue in Indian mongoose (Herpestes javanicus).

“…The third malleal process (the muscular process, or processus muscularis ) is on the medial surface of the manubrium, and in its median segment, serves as an insertion point for the tensor timpani muscle. Similar features have been reported in most other primates [ 13 , 17 , 19 , 25 ] and Herpetes Javanicus [ 43 ]. In contrast, the tensor tympani muscle seems to be absent in species from Notoryctidae, Chrysochloridae, Tupaiidae, and Ochotonidae, as well as most from the Talpidae , Manidae, and Spalacidae families [ 44 ].…”

Anatomical, Histological, and Morphometrical Investigations of the Auditory Ossicles in Chlorocebus aethiops sabaeus from Saint Kitts Island

Otological studies rely on a lot of data drawn from animal studies. A lot of pathological or evolutionary questions may find answers in studies on primates, providing insights into the morphological, pathological, and physiological aspects of systematic biological studies. Our study on auditory ossicles moves from a pure morphological (macroscopic and microscopic) investigation of auditory ossicles to the morphometrical evaluation of several individuals as well as to some interpretative data regarding some functional aspects drawn from these investigations. Particularities from this perspective blend with metric data and point toward comparative elements that might also serve as an important reference in further morphologic and comparative studies.

The present paper deals with a detailed description of the auditory ossicles in Capra hircus. The paper focuses on the morphological and morphometrical description of the ossicular assembly, formed by malleus, incus and stapes. The malleus (overall length, as average‐ 8.16 mm) comprises the head of malleus (Caput mallei), a slightly strictured part—neck (Collum mallei) with 3 distinctive processes (lateral, rostral and muscular) (Processus lateralis, Processus rostralis and Processus muscularis) and a handle (Manubrium mallei). The head of malleus has an oval aspect with an obtuse articular surface on its medial surface (Facies articularis). The neck is evident with three bony processes described—the anterior, almost triangular, the muscular one quite reduced and the lateral one which is the most developed one. The manubrium is the longest sector—4.4 mm and appears as a slightly curved piece. The incus presents a body of 1.3 mm and two processes—the short and long crus (Crus breve and Crus longum). The overall shape of the ossicle resembles a biradicular molar. The lenticular process is a continuation of the distal part of the long crus. The stapes—the smallest in size of the three ossicles (2.7 mm), has a head (Caput stapedis), an anterior (Crus rostrale) and a caudal (Crus caudale) arm and a footplate (Basis stapedis). The two processes are slightly different in size and morphology, delimiting the intercrural space that shows the presence of a bony spicule. The footplate (1.6 mm2 area) is ellipsoidal, with an anterior narrower extremity.
