| Summary: | <b>Aim:</b> In the study it was aimed to determine in terms of gender
morphometric values of adult Malakan Horse mandible.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> In the study, 5 male and 5 female
Malakan Horses mandibles were used. After dissecting skin
and superficial muscles of mandible, it was maceration by
boiling. Thirty-four measurements were obtained from mandible
by digital caliper.<p>
<b>Results:</b> Result of the study, the average of lenght (U1) of
male Malakan Horse mandible was calculated as 393.64±2.41
mm, the average of mandible height (U21) 253.20±4.56
mm, the average of length of female Malakan Horse mandible
394.70±1.37 mm, the average of mandible height
249.65±0.99 mm. It was seen that the differences in only
distance of two coronoid process (U25) was significant in
statistical analysis presented between the genders (P<0.05).<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> It is concluded that morphometric measurements
except the distance of two coronoid process (U25) in
the mandible of Malakan Horses can not be used in gender
differentiation. |
