- After two lateral incisions were made and stood up the "shell" to expose the chest cavity. This procedure is easily done with a scalpel because the ribs are not very strong. We have observed a scam involved.
- We removed the thymus and then cut the pericardium. The pericardium is found around the heart and was easy to remove
lungs are bulky with large numbers of lobes:
In this picture the lungs are dilated
The right lung whose length is about 10 cm is divided into lobes: cranial, medial, caudal and accessory
and the left lung with a length of approximately 8 cm lobes on cranial and caudal.
The lungs of the rabbit seems to wrap around the heart. The functional significance of this specialty is that when the rabbit is running, the lungs act as a shock to the heart, to keep it in place and protect from injury. Since rabbits must make quick movements, it is imperative that their hearts are protected during locomotion.
The heart is large and found slightly to the left of the center of the chest cavity. Leans against the sternum, and is protected by fat and lungs. The apex of the heart is oriented later. Also identified the aorta.
Heart Facts:
- weighs 8-14g => 1 / 300 of body weight is 3.5 - 4 cm
- its shape is more narrow, the globose phenomenon of carnivores
- is located more cranially than in other domestic mammals (áreacardíaca : 2 nd - 5 th rib).
- supported almost entirely on the sternum and diaphragm away
