Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to determine the morphometric characteristics of the bones forming the ossicula auditus of Morkaraman sheep and to reveal the differences between sexes and sides. For this purpose, 24 (12 females/12 males) craniums of Morkaraman sheep were used in the study. After the craniums were macerated, the ossicula auditus in the cavum tympani were dissected out and morphometric data were determined by taking linear measurements. Sexually dimorphic structures and homotypic variations of the obtained morphometric data were statistically calculated. It was observed that the bones forming the ossicula auditis were malleus, incus and stapes, respectively; when the morphometric data obtained were analyzed, it was determined that there were statistically dimorphic differences between sexes in the parameters of malleus lenght, width of the caput mallei and length of the manubrium mallei (P 0.05). In the correlation analysis of the morphometric parameters of the ossicles, weak, moderate and strong correlation was observed in the positive direction, while only weak correlation was observed in the negative direction. As a result, it is thought to contribute to taxonomic and experimental studies by determining the morphometric parameters of the ossicula auditis bones of Morkaraman sheep.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, Morkaraman koyunlarında ossicula auditus'u oluşturan kemiklerin morfometrik özelliklerinin belirlenmesi, cinsiyetler ve yönler arasındaki farklılıkların ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla çalışmada 24 adet (12 dişi/12 erkek) Morkaraman koyunu kafatası kullanıldı. Cranium’lar maserasyona tabi tutulduktan sonra cavum tympani'deki ossicula auditus'lar diseke edildi ve doğrusal ölçümler alınarak morfometrik veriler belirlendi. Elde edilen morfometrik verilerin cinsiyete göre dimorfik yapıları ve homotipik varyasyonları istatistiksel olarak hesaplanmıştır. Ossicula auditus'u oluşturan kemiklerin sırasıyla malleus, incus ve stapes olduğu görülmüş, elde edilen morfometrik veriler analiz edildiğinde sol malleus kemikçiğinde,caput mallei uzunluğu (P 0.05). Kemikçiklerin morfometrik parametrelerinin korelasyon analizinde pozitif yönde zayıf, orta ve güçlü korelasyon gözlenirken, negatif yönde sadece zayıf korelasyon gözlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, Morkaraman koyunlarının ossicula auditis kemiklerinin morfometrik parametrelerinin belirlenmesinin taksonomik ve deneysel çalışmalara katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
