Morfologia do funículo umbilical em ovinos deslanados mestiços (Ovis aries, L. 1758)

Aspectos anatômicos do funiculo umbilical foram observados em 30 fetos de ovinos deslanados sem raça definida, retirados de fêmeas em diferentes estágios de prenhez, oriundas de matadouros do Estado de Pemambuco Brasil. Em todas as observações constatamos a presença de um dueto alantóide, duas artérias e duas veias umbilicais, e em um único caso (gestação trigemelar) evidenciaram-se, no funiculo umbilical, duas artérias e uma veia. À secção transversal do funiculo umbilical na porção justafetal, cada conjunto de artéria e veia posicionava-se lateralmente ao dueto alantóide, ocupando diferentes planos, enquanto na porção média as veias tendiam para o mesmo plano das artérias, e, na porção justaplacentária, as veias lateralizavam-se em um só plano constituindo uma fileira de vasos. Obteve-se uma variação quanto ao comprimento do funículo de 5,0 a 21,5 centímetros com uma média igual a 12,24 centímetros em fetos com aproximadamente 2 a 5 meses de vida intra-uterina. Verificaram-se anastomoses arteriais no funículo umbilical (26,66%), sendo que l6,66% foram do tipo convergente 10% do tipo transversal.Anatomical aspects of the umbilical cord of 30 unwoolly sheep in different stages of pregnancy, arising from Pernambuco State, were observed. It was verified single pregnancies (53.33%), and twin or triples pregnancies (46.66%). The material showed the presence of an allantoid duct, two arteries and two umbilical veins with a single exception, where were evidenced, in the umbilical funiculum female foetus, two arteries and one vein. By histological findings, obtained by transversal section of the umbilical funiculum, it was evidenced that the disposition of the vessels varied according to the sectioned portion. In the epsilateral foetal portion, each pack of artery and vein was positioned laterally to the allantoid duct occupying different planes. In the intermediary portion the veins tended to the same plane of the arteries and at the placenta epsilateral portion, the veins runned in only one plane making up one row of vessels. Was obtained a variation regarding to the funiculum length of 5.0 to 21.5 centimetre in length with an average of 12.24 centimetre in a foetus with approximately 2 to 5 months of intrauterine life. It was evidenced anastomosis (26.66%), 16.66% were of convergent type and 10% of transversal type.The blood supply of placenta of 30 wooless sheep without a defined breed was studied by analyzing the pieces obtained through vascular injection of Latex Neoprene 650 stain solution and moulds were made from injection of vinyl acetate. Single gestation (53.33%), gemel (46.66%) and trigeminal (3.33%) cases were observed; in all cases studied it was observed 4 umbilical vessels (2 arteries and 2 veins) besides the allantoidal duct forming the funiculus. Only in one case (trigeminal gestation), the two umbilical arteries of one of the fetuses were fused at he intermediary part of the umbilical funiculus. The hilar area of the placenta varied from 2.0 to 6.0 centimeters depending on the gestational phase. The mean number of cotyledons per gestation was 96 and their sizes and shapes were varied, being the most predominant those greater than 1.5 centimeter and also the ones with ovoid form. The cotyledons were irrigated and drained by a number of diversified arteries and veins, constituting arteriocotyledonary and venocotyledonary arrangements, numbering a total of 299 and 314 casting moulds, respectively.The blood supply of placenta of 30 wooless sheep without a defined breed was studied by analyzing the pieces obtained through vascular injection of Latex Neoprene 650 stain solution and moulds were made from injection of vinyl acetate.
