The Segmental Morphometric Properties of the Horse Cervical Spinal Cord: A Study of Cadaver
Figure 2
Length (a), diameters (b and c), and compression ratio (d) of cervical spinal cord segments. (a–e) Different letters on the top of columns of the same colour are statistically significant (Duncan test, , mean ± SE).
(a) Macroscopic (Mac; using digital caliper after segmentation) and microscopic (Mic; calculated after histological processing) length measurements of the cervical spinal cord segments
(b) Macroscopic (using digital caliper) transvers (Mac TD) and vertical (Mac VD) diameters and microscopic (using ImageJ after histological processing) transvers (Mic TD) and vertical (Mic VD) diameters
(c) Transvers (TDCC) and vertical (VDCC) diameters (using ImageJ) of the central canal
(d) Gross-sections (GS) and central canal (CC) of compression ratio
