| Abstract | ||
| Ossa cordis is the skeleton of the heart of one humped camels. It plays an important role in the heart; our Study was done to analyze the morphological and histological structures of oscardia of the heart. Ten healthy adult hearts from one-humped camels were selected for morphological and histological investigation. The camel's cardia is a prominent, elongated bone that resembles a finger-like extension. It is lodged inside the heart wall the attachment point for the cardiac muscles. The os cordis surrounds the aortic base, particularly between left and right atrium. The typical morphometric measurements of ossa cordis in camels were as follows: weight (0.57 ± 0.12 gm), length (28.54 ± 2.28 mm), width (8.62 ± 1.12 mm), thickness (5.4 ± 0.24 mm), and volume (0.30 ± 0.03 cm3). Furthermore, the morphology and histological structures of the camel cardiac ossa cardia closely resemble those of many species in both large and small ruminants. However, the ossa cordis of camels is composed of cavities containing bone marrow, spongy bone, and collagen fibers. The ossa cordis of one-humped camels is located in the heart. The organ is in the central region of the mature camel's body. It is positioned at the foundation of the main artery, between the right and left chambers of the heart. Therefore, it has similarities with certain ruminants while exhibiting differences from others. In terms of its histological components, it closely resembles those found in other animals. | ||
