Abstract

There were analyzed the cervical (CI) and lumbar intumescences (IL) of 30 post mortem domestic without race cats of both sexes. The dorsal skin and muscles from the vertebral column were removed to expose the spinal cord and its wrappers were visualized when the vertebral arcs were sectioned, exposing the CI and LI. The CI and LI where measured up and their relationship with cervical (C), thoracic (T) and lumbar (L) vertebrae were analyzed to get their skeletopy. The length of the CI presented a variation from 3.30-8.00 cm, with a higher frequency of 9 animals (30.00 ± 8.36%) presenting 5.00-5.50 cm. The length of the LI presented a variation from 2.90-5.70 and the higher frequency observed was 21 animals (70.00 ± 8.36%) presenting 3.00-4.50 cm. Their skeletopy were also variable: in 16 animals (53.33 ± 9.10%) the CI began at the C3 and the LI began at the L4 in 23 animals (76.67 ± 7.72%). Their ends were also variable, since the CI and the LI ended in 12 animals (40.00 ± 8.94%) the T1 and in 24 (80.00 ± 7.30%) at the L6 vertebrae, respectively.
