| Abstract | ||||
| The purpose of this study is to determine the macroanatomic characteristics of larynx, trachea, and lungs in martens. In this study, six martens including three males and three females were used. It was found that the larynx of marten was consisted of totally five cartilages, one paired, and three unpaired These cartilages were cartilago arytenoidea, cartilago thyroidea, cartilago cricoidea, and cartilago epiglottica. It was observed that trachea was consisted of averagely 56-58 cartilago trachealis and the length was measured as appro- ximately 19±2 cm. The pulmo dexter had four lobes: lobus cra-nialis, lobus medius, lobus caudalis, and lobus accessorius. On the other hand, the pulmo sinister had two lobes: lobus cranialis and lobus caudalis. As a result, it was expected that the macro-anatomic information regarding larynx, trachea, and pulmones would address the lack of literature in this area. | ||||
