ABSTRACT

 

Goodarzi N, Mahdi Zangeneh M., Observations on differential macroscopic anatomy in human, canine, equine and ovine liver, Onl J Vet Res., 18(11): 845-850,  2014. Differential macroscopic anatomy of dog, donkey, sheep and human livers are described. Ten specimens from each species were examined. In sheep the liver was located completely on the right of the median plane, whilst in donkeys and humans mostly on the right. In the dog the liver was oriented symmetrically to both sides. In sheep the liver had  right, left, caudate and quadrate lobes similar to humans. In donkeys only the left lobe had medial and lateral parts whereas in dogs both right and left lobe had medial and lateral parts. There was no papillary process in the liver of the donkey. The findings suggested most similarity in lobation and macroscopic anatomy between sheep and humans, but most differences between dogs and humans.

 

Key words : Liver, human, ruminant, equine, carnivore.
