Non-Experimental Aural Pathology in Rhesus Monkeys: (Macaca mulatta)

Pages 399-408 | Received 01 Feb 1968, Published online: 08 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

Hearing organs of 10 rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta)—20 temporal bones—were investigated in sectional series with tabulation of histopathologic changes. Involvement of the middle ear and internal ear was found, and propagation to the endocranium. In rhesus, the subiculum, the lid concealing to the view from the direction of the middle ear the entrance to the round window niche was found absent (versus e.g. man). This arrangement leaves the membrane of the round window unobstructed offering direct visibility with ready access to the spaces of the membranous cochlea.

RÉSUMÉ

Les appareils auditoires de dix rhésus (Macaca mulatta), c'est-à-dire vingt os temporal, ont été étudié en série sectionnelle avec la tabulation des altérations histo-pathologiques. Envahissement de l'oreille moyenne et interne a été trouvé et propagation de l'endocraˇne. Dans le rhésus, le subiculum (le couvercle) qui gěne la vue dans la direction de l'oreille moyenne de l'aecès à la niche de la fenětre ronde n'était pas discernable (chez l'homme, c'est au contraire). Dans cette instance la membrane de la fenětre ronde n'est pas caché donnant une visibilité directe avec bon accès aux espaces de la cochléa membraneuse.
