Morphology features of the endocardial structures of the right ventricle of the Siberian roe deer heart

Abstract

Hemodynamics of blood through the heart is carried out in one direction, where the diastole of the heart is replaced by a systole, and promotes the movement of blood through the circulatory circles. An important role in this is played not only by the heart valves, which restrain the movement of blood into the atria (sash) and ventricles (aortic valve and pulmonary artery), but also by myoendocardial formations and respiratory motility organs. In the available literature, the specific features of the heart in different animal species have been determined, however, no descriptions of the anatomy of endocardial formations of the right ventricle of the heart have been found in males of the Siberian roe deer.To assess the morphometric structures, hearts from 18-month-old Siberian roe deer males (n=3) obtained on the territory of the hunting grounds of the Irkutsk region were used. The heart has an ellipsoid shape, where the right ventricle is located above the level of the rounded tip of the left ventricle. Its internal structure is characterized by pronounced trabeculation, where two folding trabeculae are defined from the side of the free wall, which prevent the overgrowth of the fibrous ring. Among the relief of the right ventricle of the heart of the Siberian roe deer, four papillary muscles are distinguished – large, small, subterranean and additional, with certain morphological forms and indicators.Muscles give up to 24-27 tendon strings to the valve flaps. The septomarginal trabecula connects the base of the large papillary muscle and the interventricular septum, and three to four tendon cords between the septum and the ventricular wall.The greatest value of the height of the tricuspid valve flap was noted at the wall, and the width of the fastening and thickness at the partition flaps. The presence of two or three intermediate flaps was noted, which differ in smaller sizes (height - 9.5 ± 0.71; width – 10.2 ± 0.21 and thickness – 0.19 ± 0.01 mm).
