This work aims to measure and study sella turcica size and shape variations which is important for neurologists and neurosurgeons to avoid any damage to the sellar region and in identifying any pathological signs involving pituitary gland. The study was done with 102 dried human skulls where the gender of the skulls was not taken into consideration. The study was mainly concentrated to analyze the parameters of sella turcica. The average of sella turcica length, breadth and depth were calculated to be 10.59mm, 10.76mm and 9.23mm respectively. Most commonly found shape of sella turcica is normal (56.8%). These observations are essential in providing reference standard values.

  • Perinate and Eggs of a Giant Caenagnathid Dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous of Central China
    ARTICLE Received 29 Jul 2016 | Accepted 15 Feb 2017 | Published 9 May 2017 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms14952 OPEN Perinate and eggs of a giant caenagnathid dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous of central China Hanyong Pu1, Darla K. Zelenitsky2, Junchang Lu¨3, Philip J. Currie4, Kenneth Carpenter5,LiXu1, Eva B. Koppelhus4, Songhai Jia1, Le Xiao1, Huali Chuang1, Tianran Li1, Martin Kundra´t6 & Caizhi Shen3 The abundance of dinosaur eggs in Upper Cretaceous strata of Henan Province, China led to the collection and export of countless such fossils. One of these specimens, recently repatriated to China, is a partial clutch of large dinosaur eggs (Macroelongatoolithus) with a closely associated small theropod skeleton. Here we identify the specimen as an embryo and eggs of a new, large caenagnathid oviraptorosaur, Beibeilong sinensis. This specimen is the first known association between skeletal remains and eggs of caenagnathids. Caenagnathids and oviraptorids share similarities in their eggs and clutches, although the eggs of Beibeilong are significantly larger than those of oviraptorids and indicate an adult body size comparable to a gigantic caenagnathid. An abundance of Macroelongatoolithus eggs reported from Asia and North America contrasts with the dearth of giant caenagnathid skeletal remains. Regardless, the large caenagnathid-Macroelongatoolithus association revealed here suggests these dinosaurs were relatively common during the early Late Cretaceous. 1 Henan Geological Museum, Zhengzhou 450016, China. 2 Department of Geoscience, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2N 1N4. 3 Institute of Geology, Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, Beijing 100037, China. 4 Department of Biological Sciences, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada T6G 2E9. 5 Prehistoric Museum, Utah State University, 155 East Main Street, Price, Utah 84501, USA.

  • Investigating the Various Shapes of Sella Turcica in Nigerian Children Using Lateral Skull Radiographs
    International Journal of Health Sciences and Research www.ijhsr.org ISSN: 2249-9571 Original Research Article Investigating the Various Shapes of Sella Turcica in Nigerian Children Using Lateral Skull Radiographs Bello A., Usman J.D. Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences, College of Health Sciences, Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto, Nigeria. Corresponding Author: Bello A ABSTRACT The knowledge of the normal radiographic anatomy of the sella turcica and sella point is of great importance to clinicians in enabling them quickly recognize, investigate or evaluate any deviation from normal as well as any pathological situation related to the pituitary gland. This study investigated the various shapes of the sella turcica in children. A total of 250 lateral skull radiographs taken in the Department of Radiology, Usmanu Danfodiyo University Teaching Hospital (UDUTH), Sokoto from January 2013 to December 2014 were retrieved for the purpose of this study. Radiographs were mounted on the viewing box and variants of the anatomical shapes of the sella turcica were studied and classified. Of the 162 radiographs used in this study, 114 (70.4%) sella turcica were round shaped while 48 (29.6%) oval in shaped. This observed difference was statistically significant (p<0.001). Meanwhile, the floor of the sella turcica of the study participants showed a concave outline in 130 (80%) of the children and flat outline in 32 (20%) of the children. Sexual dimorphism was seen in this study with respect to shape of sella turcica. Round shaped sella turcica was predominant in Nigerian children used in this study. The prevalence and the relative frequencies of the normal variants of the anatomical shapes of the sella turcica of male Nigerian children differ significantly from those of their female counterparts.

  • Lab Manual Axial Skeleton Atla
    1 PRE-LAB EXERCISES When studying the skeletal system, the bones are often sorted into two broad categories: the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. This lab focuses on the axial skeleton, which consists of the bones that form the axis of the body. The axial skeleton includes bones in the skull, vertebrae, and thoracic cage, as well as the auditory ossicles and hyoid bone. In addition to learning about all the bones of the axial skeleton, it is also important to identify some significant bone markings. Bone markings can have many shapes, including holes, round or sharp projections, and shallow or deep valleys, among others. These markings on the bones serve many purposes, including forming attachments to other bones or muscles and allowing passage of a blood vessel or nerve. It is helpful to understand the meanings of some of the more common bone marking terms. Before we get started, look up the definitions of these common bone marking terms: Canal: Condyle: Facet: Fissure: Foramen: (see Module 10.18 Foramina of Skull) Fossa: Margin: Process: Throughout this exercise, you will notice bold terms. This is meant to focus your attention on these important words. Make sure you pay attention to any bold words and know how to explain their definitions and/or where they are located. Use the following modules to guide your exploration of the axial skeleton. As you explore these bones in Visible Body’s app, also locate the bones and bone markings on any available charts, models, or specimens. You may also find it helpful to palpate bones on yourself or make drawings of the bones with the bone markings labeled.

  • A Bony Canal in the Basilar Part of Occipital Bone
    eISSN 1308-4038 International Journal of Anatomical Variations (2010) 3: 112–113 Case Report A bony canal in the basilar part of occipital bone Published online August 9th, 2010 © http://www.ijav.org Navneet Kumar CHAUHAN ABSTRACT Jyoti CHOPRA Clivus is a gradual slopping process behind the dorsum sellae that runs obliquely backwards. An unusual 6 mm Anita RANI long and 1 mm wide bony canal was observed on the lower one third of clivus in an adult human dry skull. The Archana RANI internal end of the canal was opening in the midline. The canal was directed downwards, forwards and laterally. Ajay Kumar SRIVASTAVA The external opening was present antero-lateral to the pharyngeal tubercle on the left side. Presence of any canal in the clivus is a rare occurrence. There could be two possible explanations for its formation. It could be because of presence of a connecting vein or it might have contained the remnant of notochord. We believe that in the present case more likely a venous communication existed between the basilar Department of Anatomy, Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj Medical University, Lucknow, and pharyngeal venous plexuses, which led to the formation of this bony canal. The canal of the clivus might INDIA. interfere with the neurosurgical operations in the clival region or can be confused for a fracture of clivus. © IJAV. 2010; 3: 112–113.
