Echoanatomical Features of the Major Cervical Blood Vessels of the Juvenile Green Sea Turtle (Chelonia mydas)
CHELONIAN CONSERVATION AND BIOLOGY(2022)
摘要
Although ultrasonographic examination of the blood vessels of sea turtles has been a helpful tool in the clinical setting, there is a paucity of data on the normal cervical echoanatomy of green turtles (Chelonia mydas); such information could be valuable for conservation-focused efforts at rehabilitation facilities. We studied the echoanatomical features of the major blood vessels of the neck of juvenile green turtles by gross dissection of 5 deceased turtles and by ultrasonographic examination of 11 healthy animals. The external jugular and the vertebral veins were superficial (< 1.5 cm) and presented an echogenic and turbulent pattern of blood flow in B-mode examination; carotid arteries lied deeply within the neck (> 1.5 cm) and exhibited a laminar blood flow characterized by a parabolic velocity profile as determined by Doppler sonography.
