Comparative Anatomical Description of the Bony Segments of the Bovine and Equine Vertebral Spine

Abstract

<p>The current study consists of a comparative anatomical description of the vertebral segments of the equine species (Equus caballus) and the bovine (Bos taurus). The vertebral column corresponds to one of the main axes of support, balance and distribution of force of the body of all living beings. It is characterized by being made up of a series of bones called vertebrae, which are differentiated by segments: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral and coccygeal. Despite the existence of literature regarding the comparative anatomical study, it is not easy to have a text that allows a parallel understanding of the differentiations of the structures or systems under study between species. As a result of the present study, it was possible to identify the main anatomical differences already present in the classic literature of veterinary anatomy. However, I also observe a series of structures not described in a comparative way in the various texts of the specialty. In this way, I sought to contribute to the creation of an article that enhances comparative anatomy, and collaborates in the training of professionals in the veterinary or morphological area.</p>
