Contribution to the knowledge of the macroscopic and microscopic anatomy of turtle Podocnemis vogli ; Contribución al conocimiento de la anatomía macroscópica y microscópica de la tortuga sabanera Podocnemis vogli
The macroscopic and microscopic anatomy of the digestive, respiratory, and urogenital systems of ten specimens of turtle Podocnemis vogli (Pelomedusidae), five males and five females, were described morphometric relationships of organs were also established, the straight carapace length (LCR), height and weight of the same animal. These specimens were clinically healthy, the animals came from the Ocarros Biopark zoo in Villavicencio city, Meta, Colombia, they were subjected to quarantine for twenty days in a pond with dry area, located on the farm of the University of the Llanos.

The macroscopic and microscopic anatomy of the digestive, respiratory, and urogenital systems of ten specimens of turtle Podocnemis vogli (Pelomedusidae), five males and five females, were described morphometric relationships of organs were also established, the straight carapace length (LCR), height and weight of the same animal. These specimens were clinically healthy, the animals came from the Ocarros Biopark zoo in Villavicencio city, Meta, Colombia, they were subjected to quarantine for twenty days in a pond with dry area, located on the farm of the University of the Llanos. During this period, the animals were fed a diet of concentrate which covered 70% of the daily energy requirement (DER) Fruit: banana and mango 20% DER, and bore 10% DER. The sacrifice of animals was conducted using Pentobarbital sodium 31.4 mg/kg. The morfometrías evaluated Straight Carapace Length (SCL), plastron length (PL), the length ventral suture media (LVS), the carapace width (CW) and the weight (W). The dissection was carried out by removing the plastron and visceral separation package shell and histology of the samples were realized with 10% buffered formalin, 1:10, and stained with hematoxylin-eosin traditional reading their cuts were performed with light microscopy 3-5 microns. Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation) and allometric relationships were used. In all processes photographic records were made under controlled conditions Results showed similarities with the studies made for reptiles, and the differences are not marked, since mainly concerning location, shape and size, which is related to the specific biological characteristics of the species. Histological changes were found compared with reptiles that make differences in epithelia and structural robes gut, this variability will be due to the type of feeding and behavior of the bolus in this tract. ; Se describió la anatomía macroscópica y microscópica de los sistemas digestivo, respiratorio y urogenital de diez ejemplares de tortuga sabanera Podocnemis ...
