Abstract: [email protected] Saara loricata is a rare that lives on the ground and is the only herbivorous in Iran. Due to the fact that not much study has been done on the bone structure of this species, this study was performed to investigate the anatomical features of the bones of Humerus, Radius and Alena. In this study, bones prepared from a saara loricate sample prepared by conventional bone separation methods were studied.

The Humerus in the proximal part has a head, the Internal tuberosity, which is below the Internal tuberosity, the Deltoid tuberosity. The growth plate is not closed in both the proximal and distal, which indicates that the Saraa Loricata was growing. There is craniodorsal tuberosity in the front of the bone. In the distal Humerus there are two condyles that connect the Radial condyle to the Radius and the Ulnal condyle to the Ulna bone. Between the two condylesAuthors there [Times is a space New called Roman the Olecranon 11p, italic] fossa. 1 Affilitions [Times New Roman 9p] In the proximal part of the Ulna, there is an Anconeal process, below which there are two appendages on the right and left, which are the medial condylar process and the lateral condyle process. The trochlear notch separates these two process.

Saara loricata and Lanthanotus borneensis are slightly different. The Humeruse in Lanthanotus borneensis has Deltopectoral crest but Saara loricate has Deltopectoral line. Only Lanthanotus borneensis has Enteglenoid fossa. Demonstrated no significant differences and their general characteristics were similar. Ulna & Radius are similar in two .

Keywords- Saara loricata, , Humerus, Radius, Ulna

Uromastycinae are the only herbivorous in Iran. The difference with Agmas is that the spines have thick, short tails and are covered with itchy scales, have a larger body than the Agmas, and their pelvic cavities and ossicles are different from the Agmas. So far, 18 species of thistles are known in the world, 3 of which are found in Iran; Named after the Saara asmussi, Saara loricate, aegyptia. Uromastyx aegyptia is in Iran, but the other two species are rare[1]. Of course, the same species is listed as endangered in Iran, but no detailed research has been done on their population. [2].

145 skeletal remains of have been found in Saudi Arabia, representing at least 22 Uromastycinae, showing the remains of cutting tools on their bones, which are of human origin and suggest that the use of this lizard in Saudi Arabia is ancient. [3]. Examination of the activity of 20 Uromastyx aegyptia shows that they are daily; They emerge from the nest in the early morning at a temperature of about 30 ° C. [4]. The purpose of this article is to investigate the sciatic features of the saara loricate scapula. During the research, no study has been done on it.

The Humerus in the proximal part has a head, Saara loricata and Lanthanotus borneensis are the Internal tuberosity, which is below the slightly different. The Humeruse in Lanthanotus Internal tuberosity, the Deltoid tuberosity. The borneensis has Deltopectoral crest but Saara growth plate is not closed in both the proximal loricate has Deltopectoral line. Only Lanthanotus and distal, which indicates that the Saraa borneensis has Enteglenoid fossa their general Loricata was growing. There is craniodorsal characteristics were similar. Ulna & Radius are tuberosity in the front of the bone. In the distal similar in two reptiles. Humerus there are two condyles that connect the Radial condyle to the Radius and the Ulnal condyle to the Ulna bone. Between the two condyles there is a space called the Olecranon fossa.

In the proximal part of the Ulna, there is an Anconeal process, below which there are two appendages on the right and left, which are the medial condylar process and the lateral condyle process. The trochlear notch separates these two process.
