Description
Summary:SIMPLE SUMMARY: Birds constitute an important group within the new companion animals. Since their popularity has been increasing, it is more common to find them in homes, zoos and wildlife centres around the world, evidencing the need for clinicians, biologists and researchers to have a deep knowledge of their anatomy, pathology and physiology to provide adequate medical care. ABSTRACT: In birds, unlike mammals, there is no complete separation between the thoracic and abdominal cavities. Instead, they have the coelomic cavity where most main organs are found. Therefore, an adequate knowledge of the anatomy of the coelomic cavity is of great importance for veterinarians, biologists and the scientific community. This study aimed to evaluate the coelomic cavity anatomy in the Atlantic puffin (Fratercula arctica) using anatomical sections and computed tomography images.
