Evaluation of Morphological Variations in Pars Tympanica of Temporal Bone in Dogs

In this study, it was aimed to examine the relationship between morphometric-geometric features of meatus acusticus externus, bulla tympanica and tuba auditiva cranium shape, age, gender race characteristics in os temporale region terms clinical-anatomical approach outer ear middle regions dogs’ skull. a total 110 dog's were studied. The bones photographed three different views with camera. morphometric data on head, angle measurements index values related them calculated obtained images. Tuba externus found differ statistically age groups. addition, determined that tympanica, except for height index, showed statistical differences among When skulls male female animals are examined other did not animals, angle. As result, can be said skull type is more effective than position tympanic dogs. results research supportive information used both clinical zooarchaeological studies
