| Abstract | ||||
| This study was carried out on the laryngeal cartilages of 20 larynx of adult healthy goat and sheep ranging from 3-10 years old. Half of these specimens were of male animals and the rest of female ones of the two species. The cartilages were studied anatomically and various measurements were taken from the inner surface. From the present study we can conclude that the laryngeal cartilages of goat differed anatomically from those of sheep. The various measurements in the laryngeal cartilages were somewhat larger in sheep as compared to goat except the length of the lamina of the cricoid cartilage. They also were larger in male as compared to female except the diameter of the corniculate, length and breadth of epiglottic cartilages, their average was about equal in both sexes of the same species. There was no definite correlation with total body length and age of the animal. | ||||
