Abstract

The skull is one of the largest bones in the body. It is classified into flat bones that maintain the important organic structures; which are the brain, eyes, and tongue. The skull is a strong support for preserving these organs but they are various according to the type of animals and the environments in which they live and the nature of their nutrition. There are many differences among living organisms in terms of the bones in the skull, their difference or disappearance and their length in the shape of the head. The samples were taken from the scientific storage in the Iraq Natural History Research Center and Museum; Cape hare Lepus capensis (Linnaeus, 1758) and Red fox Vulpes vulpes (Linnaeus, 1758) and the study was conducted on them in a comparative morpho-anatomical way; it is noted that it differs from one animal to another. The dentition formula was added because the dental tissue is embedded in the jaw bone. Differences were noted in the current study in comparison to other previous studies. However the study of bones needs development in methods and requires an extensive investigations in Iraq as a result of the dissimilarities in species and the nature of living; in addition to the species itself, differences are registered.

两种食肉和食草哺乳动物头骨的比较形态学研究

头骨是人体最大的骨骼之一。它被分为维持重要有机结构的扁平骨;它们是大脑，眼睛和舌头。头骨是保存这些器官的有力支撑，但它们根据动物的类型、生活环境和营养的性质而有所不同。生物之间有许多不同之处，比如头骨中的骨头，它们的差异或消失，以及它们在头部形状中的长度。样本取自伊拉克自然历史研究中心和博物馆的科学储存库;对Cape hare Lepus capensis (Linnaeus, 1758)和Red fox Vulpes Vulpes (Linnaeus, 1758)进行了形态解剖学比较研究;值得注意的是，它在不同动物之间是不同的。添加牙齿配方是因为牙齿组织嵌在颌骨中。与以往的研究相比，本研究发现了一些差异。然而，由于物种和生活性质的不同，对骨骼的研究需要发展方法，并需要在伊拉克进行广泛的调查;除了物种本身，差异也被记录下来。
