ABSTRACT
The phenotypic appearance of the head of animal species depends strongly on the shape of the skull. The present study has been carried out on morphological and radiographic characteristics of skull of the Indian Blackbuck. The skull comprised of cranial and facial bones. The cranial bones included occipital, sphenoid, ethmoid, interparietal, parietal, frontal and temporal. The occipital was a single bone surrounding the foramen magnum. The sphenoid was a single bone and situated between the occipital posteriorly and the ethmoid anteriorly. The ethmoid was a single bone laid ventral to the frontal and nasal bones. The interparietal was a small quadrilateral bone wedged in between the parietal anterio-laterally and the supraoccipital posteriorly. The parietal was a paired bone. The frontal bone was a paired and formed the roof of the cranial cavity. The occipital bone was roughly pentagonal in shape. The temporal was a paired bone and formed the part of the lateral wall of the cranial cavity. The facial bones included maxilla, premaxilla, palatine, pterygoid, nasal, lacrimal, zygomatic, vomer, turbinates, mandible and hyoid. The maxilla was a roughly triangular flat paired bone. The paired incisive bones were placed on the lower part of the face. The palatine was a paired bone. The pterygoid was a paired, small, slightly curved, flat plate of bone and situated on either side of the posterior nares. The nasal was a paired bone and formed the roof of nasal cavity. The lacrimal was a paired bone and located on the anterior margin of the orbit. The zygomatic was a paired bone and irregularly triangular in outline. The vomer was a single medial bone. The turbinate bone was delicate, scroll-like, complex bony plates, placed vertically in the nasal cavity, being attached to the lateral walls. The mandible was a paired bone. The hyoid bone was situated between the vertical parts of the rami of the mandible.
RESUMEN
La apariencia fenotípica de la cabeza de las especies animales depende principalmente de la forma del cráneo. El objetivo fue estudiar las características morfológicas y radiográficas del cráneo del antílope negro de la India. El cráneo consta de los huesos craneales y faciales. Los huesos craneales incluyen occipital, esfenoides, etmoides, interparietal, parietal, frontal y temporal. El occipital es un hueso singular que circunda el foramen occipital. El esfenoides se sitúa entre el occipital posterior y el etmoidal anterior. El etmoidal es un hueso singular situado de forma ventral a los huesos frontal y nasal. El interparietal es un pequeño hueso cuadrilátero ubicado entre el parietal anterolateral y posterior del supraoccipital. El parietal es un hueso bilateral. El hueso bilateral frontal cubría la cavidad craneal. El hueso occipital era más o menos de forma pentagonal. El hueso temporal formaba parte de la pared lateral de la cavidad craneal. Los huesos faciales incluyen el hueso maxilar, premaxila, palatina, pterigoideo, nasal, lacrimal, cigomático, vómer, conchas nasales, mandíbula y el hueso hioides. El maxilar se presentó como un hueso bilateral plano más o menos triangular. Los huesos incisivos estaban colocados en la parte inferior de la cara. El hueso palatino es un hueso bilateral. El hueso pterigoideo bilateral, plano pequeño, de hueso y situado a ambos lados de las fosas posteriores. El hueso nasal en ambos lados formaba la cubierta de la cavidad nasal. El lagrimal es un hueso asociado y situado en el margen anterior de la órbita. El cigomático es un hueso irregular de contorno triangular. El vómer esun solo hueso medial. La concha nasal delgada con forma de espiral, placas óseas complejas y colocadas verticalmente en la cavidad nasal unidas a las paredes laterales. La mandíbula es un hueso bilateral. El hueso hioides estaba situado entre las partes verticales de las ramas de la mandíbula.
