Abstract:
The aim of this study was to provide a descriptive three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT)-based visualization of the spatial relationships between the brain and the skull in the dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius), using virtual anatomical sections. The study was conducted on the head of a single 18-month-old male dromedary obtained postmortem following slaughter for human consumption. CT images were acquired and processed using 3D reconstruction techniques to generate axial, sagittal, and dorsal virtual sections. These reconstructions illustrate the organization of cranial bones, paranasal sinuses, major brain regions, and intracranial spaces, highlighting their spatial integration. Rather than aiming at morphometric or population-based analysis, this atlas-style approach focuses on anatomical topography and educational value. Although limited to a single specimen, the study provides a useful visual reference for veterinary anatomy teaching, comparative neuroanatomy, and clinical imaging interpretation in camelids.

Overview of the Skull
The cranial vault surrounds and protects the brain and houses the middle and inner ear structures. This cavity is bounded superiorly by the rounded top of the skull, which...
Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
Anatomy of the Brain: Major Regions
The cerebrum is the largest section of the brain and divides into left and right hemispheres, separated by a deep fissure. The cerebral outer layer of grey matter — the cerebral cortex — comprises elevations called gyri and shallow groves called sulci. The inner portion of white matter includes long nerve fibers known as axons, which connect...
