Abstract

The Neurergus kaiseri is one of the native and endangered species of the Salamandridae family, which is restricted to the mountainous habitats of southern Lorestan and northern Khuzestan. The presence of this species in the environment and the risks surrounding the extinction and health of this species make it necessary to produce basic anatomical information. The present study investigated the typical morphological characteristics of normal, mature, and healthy Luristan newt (Neurergus kaiseri) vertebral column using a micro-CT scan. The samples were entered into the micro-CT scan machine one by one in a ventral recumbency. The typical morphological characteristics of normal, mature, and healthy Luristan newt (Neurergus kaiseri) vertebral column were examined. It was specified that the Luristan newt (Neurergus kaiseri) has one cervical vertebra (atlas), 12 trunk vertebrae, one sacral vertebra, 3 caudosacral vertebrae, and 28 to 31 caudal vertebrae. This study presents a complete and precise description evaluation of Luristan newt (Neurergus kaiseri) vertebral column using a micro-CT scan. No specimen was killed, and anatomical studies were conducted through a micro-CT scan technique as an essential feature of the present study.

卢斯坦蝾螈脊柱的显微ct解剖。

kaiseri蝾螈是蝾螈科的一种本地濒危物种，仅限于Lorestan南部和Khuzestan北部的山区栖息地。该物种在环境中的存在以及围绕该物种灭绝和健康的风险使得有必要产生基本的解剖学信息。本研究利用显微ct扫描研究了正常、成熟和健康的华氏蝾螈脊柱的典型形态特征。样品以腹侧卧位依次进入微型ct扫描机。研究了正常、成熟和健康的华氏蝾螈脊柱的典型形态特征。经确定，Luristan蝾螈（neuroergus kaiseri）有1个颈椎（寰椎），12个主干椎骨，1个骶骨，3个骶尾椎骨，28 ~ 31个尾椎。本研究提出了一个完整的和精确的描述评估的Luristan蝾螈（Neurergus kaiseri）脊柱使用微ct扫描。没有标本被杀死，解剖研究是通过微ct扫描技术进行的，这是本研究的基本特征。
