Hematological Characterization Of Horned Viper (Ammodytes Ammodytes)
Abstract
Assessment of haematological parameters offers the possibility of identifying functional relationships between tissues and viscera and the manifestation of vital functions.
The aim of this paper was to characterize the horned viper (Ammodytes Ammodytes) from the necessity of customizing hematological aspects of the species towards the literature classification.
The work was performed on morphological examinations and determinations of red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit and red blood cells constant that are necessary for a rigorous characterization of hematologic status in the horned viper. It is known that the blood reacts sensitive to changes produced by the external factors for the entire body.
The results reflect differences between males and females in terms of blood and an array morphological parameters useful in hematologic characterization.
Elements of the blood also fulfill a significant role in maintaining unity correlative functional and reactive animal body. Any change to the state of balance in the composition of the internal environment necessary to maintain life, tends to be quickly corrected by appropriate reactions from certain organs, both in physiological conditions and in disease states.
For a good understanding of changes that occurs in hematological profile and also for the interpretation of how growth condition influence them, we consider useful to describe the blood elements at horned vipers (Ammodytes Ammodytes).
