TY - JOUR TI - A Morphological and Histological Investigation of the Sinus Interdigitalis in Konya Merino Sheep AB - In the study, it was aimed to reveal the morphological, morphometric and histologicalcharacteristics of sinus interdigitalis found in the fore and hind feet of Konya merino sheep. For thispurpose, the fore and hind feet of 10 Konya merino sheep, weighing between 44-79 kg, were used.Sinus interdigitalis were dissected out from the feet, and after morphometric measurements weremade, morphological examinations were performed and photographed. The shape of the sinusinterdigitalis, present in all the forefeet and hind feet, resembled a pipe consisting of neck and body.It was determined that the neck part was longer than the body at all feet. The inner surface of thegland was covered with hair, and there was more hair on the neck than on the body. The weight ofthe gland, body length and diameter, flexura, canal length and diameter were measuredmorphometrically. In the measurements made, it was determined that all the values of the forefeetwere higher than the hind feet. In histological examination, it was found that the wall of the sinusinterdigitalis consists of three layers: epidermis, dermis and fibrous capsule, and in the dermis, hairfollicles, sebaceous glands, m. arrector pili and sweat glands were found.
