ABSTRACT
Bones of forelimb were studied from a prepared skeleton of an adult female Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) in Anatomy Museum of Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Sciences University to understand the morphological form and structure of Asian elephant forelimb. The angle was approximately 123 between caudal border of scapula and caudal border of humerus. The scapula, humerus and bones of the antebrachium (particularly the ulna) were massive bones. The bones of manus were the short and relatively small. The dorsal border of scapula extended from the level of proximal extremity of first rib to the middle of the 6th rib. Ventral angle of scapula articulated with humerus by elongated shaped glenoid cavity (cavitas glenoidalis) of scapula and head of humerus (caput humeri). The major tubercle (tuberculum majus) of humerus was situated laterally to the head, which had smaller cranial part with large caudal part and extended cranially to the head. The crest of minor tubercle (tuberculum minus) was present as the rough line on the mediocaudal surface of humerus that ends in a slight depressed or elevated area, known as teres major tuberosity (tuberositas teres major). The lateral supracondyler crest (crista supra condylaris lateralis) at the caudal surface of the shaft limit the musculo-spiral groove in body of humerus. The radius and ulna are twin bones of forearm and the attachment between ulna and radius occurs in such a way, the radius articulates craniomedially with the ulna in the proximal part. But the shaft spirals laterally over the cranial surface of the ulna to articulate distally with the medial aspect of the ulna. There were 8 carpal bones, 5 metacarpal bones and 5 digits. The comparative size of the proximal and distal raw of carpal bones were ulnar carpal > radial > intermediate > accessory carpal and IV > III > II > I respectively. The gradual lengths of the metacarpal bones were III > IV > II > V > I. Digits I and V were vertical and digit II, III and IV were horizontal.
RESUMEN
En el Museo de Anatomía de la Universidad de Veterinaria y Ciencias de Animales de Chittagong fueron estudiados los huesos del miembro torácico de un esqueleto preparado de un elefante asiático (Elephas maximus), hembra adulta, para analizar su morfología y estructura. El ángulo entre el margen caudal de la escápula y el margen caudal del húmero era de aproximadamente 123°. La escápula, húmero y los huesos del antebrazo (en particular la ulna) eran huesos macizos. Los huesos de las manos eran cortos y relativamente pequeños. El margen dorsal de la escápula se extendía desde el nivel de la porción proximal de la primera costilla para la parte media de la sexta costilla. El ángulo ventral de la escápula está articulado con el húmero por la cavidad glenoidea (cavitas glenoidalis), de forma alargada, de la escápula y la cabeza del húmero (caput humeri). El principal tubérculo (tuberculum majus) del húmero estaba situado lateralmente a la cabeza, que tenía una parte craneal pequeña y una mayor parte caudal, extendiéndose cranealmente en la cabeza. La cresta del tubérculo menor (tuberculum minus) estaba presente como la línea áspera sobre la superficie mediocaudal del húmero que termina en una pequeña zona deprimida o elevada, conocida como tuberosidad redonda mayor (tuberositas teres major). La cresta supracondilar lateral (crista supra condylaris lateralis) en la superficie caudal del eje limita la ranura músculo-espiral en el húmero. El radio y la ulna son huesos gemelos del antebrazo y la unión entre la ulna y el radio se produce de tal manera, que el radio articula, craneal y medialmente, con la ulna en la porción proximal. Pero el eje en espiral está ubicado lateralmente sobre la superficie craneal de la ulna para articular distalmente con la cara medial de la ulna. Se identificaron 8 huesos del carpo, 5 metacarpianos y 5 dígitos. El tamaño comparativo de las porciones proximal y distal de los huesos del carpo fue ulna > radial > Intermedio> carpiano accesorio y IV > III > II > I, respectivamente. Las longitudes graduales de los huesos metacarpianos eran III > IV > II > V > I. Dígitos I y V eran verticales y dígitos II, III y IV fueron horizontales.
