Anatomia macroscópica e ultraestrutural da orelha da paca (Cuniculus paca, Linnaeus, 1766)

Abstract

A paca (Cuniculus paca), um dos maiores roedores da fauna brasileira, possui características inerentes à sua espécie que podem contribuir como uma nova opção de animal experimental; assim, considerando-se que há crescente busca por modelos experimentais apropriados para audiologia e pesquisa otológica cirurgica, foram analisados e descritos em detalhes a anatomia macroscópica e ultraestrutural da orelha desse roedor. Para o estudo, utilizaram-se 15 animais adultos provenientes do plantel do Setor de Animais Silvestres da Faculdade de Ciências Agrárias e Veterinarias, UNESP- Jaboticabal, Jaboticabal-SP. Após anestesia e eutanásia, avaliou-se toda a composição da orelha externa, registrando-se e descrevendo-se os detalhes, também se dissecou a região temporal para melhor visibilização e detalhamento da bula timpânica e estas foram removidas e abertas a fim de expor as estruturas da orelha, média e interna as quais foram analisadas, macroscopicamente e ultraestruturalmente. O pavilhão auricular apresenta forma triangular e côncava com cristas irregulares e ápice pontiagudo; o conduto auditivo externo é sinuoso em seu trajeto até a membrana timpânica; a bula timpânica encontra-se na parte posterior-inferior do crânio; a orelha média é formada por uma região cavitária preenchida por estruturas ósseas e membranosas. É delimitada pela membrana timpânica e as janelas redonda e oval, sendo a membrana timpânica de forma plana e que veda todo o conduto auditivo. A orelha interna é composta pelo labirinto ósseo e pelo labirinto membranáceo e é dividida em labirintos anterior, constituído pela cóclea e labirinto posterior constituído pelo vestíbulo e ductos semicirculares. A porção membranosa que contém a endolinfa e a perilinfa está suspensa no labirinto ósseo. A anatomia da orelha da paca...

The paca (Cuniculus paca), one of the largest rodents of the Brazilian fauna, has inherent characteristics of its specie that can contribute as a new option for experimental animal, thus considering that there is a growing demand for suitable experimental models for audiological and otological surgical research, the gross anatomy and ultrastructural ear of this rodent have been analyzed and described in detail. Fifteen adult animals from the Wild Animals Sector herd of the Faculdade de ciências agrárias e veterinarias, UNESP, Jaboticabal, were used in this study. After anesthesia and euthanasia, we evaluated the entire composition of the external ear, registering and describing the details, the temporal region are often dissected for a better view and detailing of the tympanic bulla which were removed and opened to expose the middle and inner ear structures, which were analyzed macroscopically and ultrastructurally. The ear pinna has a triangular and concave shape with irregular ridges and sharp apex, the external auditory canal is winding in his path to the tympanic membrane, the tympanic bulla is on the back-bottom of the skull, the middle ear is formed by a cavity region filled with bone and membranous structures bounded by the tympanic membrane and the oval and round windows. The tympanic membrane is flat and seals the ear canal. The inner ear consists of the bony labyrinth and the membranous labyrinth and is divided into anterior, consisting of the cochlea and the posterior labyrinth consists of the vestibule and semicircular ducts. The membranous portion that contains endolymph and perilymph is suspended in the bony labyrinth. The anatomy of the paca ear is similar to the guinea pig and from the viewpoint...
