大象的树干拥有复杂的肌肉结构,大约有9万个微观的带. 这种独特的肌肉结构,特别是干端的辐射束,使精细的运动控制和灵敏度.
科学领域:
- 比较解剖学的比较解剖学.
- 生物力学 生物力学
- 动物学 动物学
背景情况:
- 大象的树干是一个肌肉水静电器,具有非常复杂的肌肉结构.
- 干部肌肉的确切数量和排列仍然不清楚.
- 了解干肌肉是解释大象灵巧性的关键.
研究的目的:
- 重建和分析亚洲大象的肌肉结构.
- 调查肌肉组织在干部功能和灵敏度中的作用.
- 量化体内肌肉束的数量和类型.
主要方法:
- 从小象的微型CT扫描中,体肌肉束的密集重建.
- 分析肌肉结构的变化在不同的干部区域 (尖端,手指,轴).
- 按体积量化 (辐射式,纵向式,横向式) 的束形类型的量化.
主要成果:
- 大象的体含有大约9万个肌肉,在结构上有显著的变化.
- 干尖和手指有大约8000个色囊,主要是微观的辐射囊.
- 干轴肌肉由辐射,纵向 (三种亚型) 和横向囊组成,并指出了特定的不对称性.
结论:
- 肌肉的小型化和微观的辐射束的丰富性对于大象的干灵巧性至关重要.
- 干的复杂,高度分隔的肌肉结构允许复杂的精细运动控制.
- 大象的干进化对于抓住有很大的不同,从灵长类手掌控,依赖于许多小单位,而不是更少的大肌肉.
