Macro-Anatomic investigations on the plexus sacralis of Rock partridge (Alectoris graeca) [Kaya kekliǧi (Alectoris graeca) plexus sacralis'i üzerinde makro-anatomik araşti{dotless}rmalar]

This study was carried out to investigate the origin,distribution of plexus sacrales on the rock partridge (alectoris graeca). fourty partridges were used in this study. following the anaesthesing of the animals,cavity of the body was opened. animals were fixed with 10% formaldehyde after draining of their bloods. the nerves constituting plexus sacrales were dissected and taken photos. truncus cranialis; n. coxalis caudalis,n. peroneus,truncus medianus; n. tibialis and truncus caudalis had given rami musculares and n. cutaneus femoris caudalis. it was observed that the last branch of lumbar plexus was connected with the first branch of plexus sacralis also known as n. furcalis. plexus sacrales was made up of five rami ventrales of synsacral spinal nerves in rock partridges. in conclusion,it was determined that there were significant differences in the number,distribution of the spinal nerves constituting the plexus sacralis,the formation of plexus and in the separation of branches in rock partridge.
