Regularities of the histological structure of the interventricular septum of the heart of a goat of the anglonubian breed

Abstract

The study of the features of the morphology of the heart and its structures in farm animals in species and breed aspects is an urgent direction in fundamental research. Anglo-Nubian goats are a versatile goat breed, and currently their breeding is gaining popularity in the North-West region of the Russian Federation. Due to the capriciousness of this breed of goats to cold temperatures, they can often suffer from diseases of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. The purpose of our study is to establish the histological features of the structure of the interventricular septum of the heart of an Anglo-Nubian goat.Eleven corpses of Anglo-Nubian goats obtained during slaughter in the farm of the Moscow region of the Russian Federation "Gzhelpodvorie" were presented as the material under study. The age of the corpses of Anglo-Nubian goats was 12-13 months. As research methods were used: fine anatomical preparation and manufacture of histological preparations.We found that the composition of the interventricular septum of the heart of an Anglo-Nubian goat contains contractile cardiomyocytes, strands of loose unformed connective tissue, muscle and mixed blood vessels, nerve trunks, a few Purkinje fibers, as well as the endocardium. Also established morphometric data of histostructures of the interventricular septum in a goat of the Anglo-Nubian breed.
