THE STRUCTURE OF LONG BONES’ DIAPHYSIS COMPACTA IN LEPORIDAE, OBSERVED IN POLARIZING MICROSCOPE
The study of limb long bones of two Leporidae species was done on dried bone preparations, obtained by polishing and then examined in usual polarized microscopy and also in circular variant using a potassic mica filter of 1/4 λ.

| Summary: | The study of limb long bones of two Leporidae species was done on dried bone preparations, obtained by polishing and then examined in usual polarized microscopy and also in circular variant using a potassic mica filter of 1/4 λ. In diaphysis and metaphysis compacta were identified three basic histoarchitectural types: osteonal type in diaphysis, interstitial type in proximate metaphysis and circumferential type, specific for distal metaphysis. The micrometric measurements effected to diaphysis level put into evidence more fragile bony structure in domestic rabbit as consequence of life in captivity, without excessive locomotory requirements, comparatively to more strong bony structure present in wild rabbit. |
