A Macroanatomic and Morphometric Study on Auditory ossicles in Donkey (Equus Asinus)

Abstract

This study was presented to determine morphometry of auditory ossicles in donkey. For this purpose, the heads of ten donkeys of both sexes (five male, five female) were used. Fifteen values were measured from auditory ossicles. Macroanatomically, it was observed that only anterior process in the neck of was existing. Morphometrically, in auditory ossicles, while there was no statistical difference in terms of sex, some values were statistically significant between two sides.
