Morphological, Morphometrical, Applied Studies on Cranial Cavity, Nasal Cavity and Dentition of Blue Bull (Boselaphus tragocamelus)

Abstract

The cranial cavity was an ovoid cavity being elongated posteriorly, situated on the dorsal aspect of the nasal sinus. The superior wall or roof of the cranial cavity in blue bull was formed by supraoccipital, interparietal, parietal and frontal bones. The nasal cavity was a longitudinal passage which extended through the upper part
of the face. It was divided into right and left almost equal halves by a median septum nasi. The upper incisor and canine were absent, premolars and molars were three. The lower incisors were three, canine was one; premolars and molars were three in blue bull.
