Sixteen African giant rats (Cricetomys gambianus Waterhouse), consisting of 8 male and 8 female rats, were used to determine neurocranial measurements of the skulls. The mean neurocranial volume was 5.06 ± 0.05 mL, neurocranial length was 3.33 ± 0.08 cm, and the neurocranial height and index were 1.39 ± 0.04 cm and 41.74%, respectively...

The preoptic area (POA), which is sometimes described as a part of the telencephalon, seems to bestructurally and functionally continuous with the hypothalamus. It sends and receives input to and frommany hypothalamic nuclei [2, 21, 28]. The preoptic area influences behavioural, neuroendocrine, andautonomic nervous system activity associated with reproduction....

The pancreas is an important alveolar gland with endo- and exocrine functions. It consists of fourparts: the head, neck, body, and tail of the pancreas [5]. Embryologically, the pancreas develops from twoseparate buds: the dorsal and ventral buds. The dorsal and ventral buds fuse in the seventh week ofgestation...

The term annulus fibrous is still used in anatomical and clinical terminology but  does not exist in anatomical nomenclature. This structure is proposed as an  anatomical substrate for circus movement of excitation...

The anatomy of the tricuspid valvar complex is highly sophisticated [13, 18–20], but understanding  of it may be helpful in the practice of cardiac surgery, especially in the partial transfer of leaflets of the tricuspid valve for mitral valve repairs [1, 2, 4]. The right atrioventricular valve region may be involved in severe cardiac malformations [5, 7–11, 15...

Tracheal intubation is a minimally invasive procedure consisting of insertion of the plastic intubation tube through the mouth or nose, pharynx and larynx into the trachea. Intubation is performed by direct laryngoscopy. After insertion the tube is sealed within the trachea by means of a pneumatic cuff...

The tricuspid valve is heterogeneous [6] and is topographically related to the atrioventricular junctional area [3]. The shape of the right atrioventricular orifice evolves during life from a triangular to a more elliptical shape [7]... 

The acromion is related to a variety of disorders in the shoulder. To our knowledge, there are few studies in the literature which adduce a wide range of measurements to describe the various shapes and variants of this anatomical structure. The aim of this study was to record and study all the morphometric values of the acromion in a Greek  population sample...

Much attention has been paid in the neurosurgical literature to optimising surgical approaches [12, 13, 15, 16, 18, 21, 24]. Changes in such parameters as the working area and the angle of view into anatomical structures after extension by orbitozygomatic osteotomy are aspects of this that are analysed most frequently...

Although racial and ethnic variations in the morphology of anatomical structures are defined well, the size, shape, and weight of the thyroid gland have not previously been reported in Turkish people. This study provides data about the morphometric features of the thyroid gland, thyroid lobes, and pyramidal lobe, and highlights some anatomical variations in people from the Marmara region in Turkey...
