Resumo: http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2175-7925.2014v27n3p157Brazil has about 80 species of parrots cataloged, and five of them are identified as Macaws. As the vast majority of birds, Macaws use flight as their primary means of locomotion. However, the strength and power generated during the cycle of beating wings require a mechanism of active neuromuscular control and specialized adaptations of muscles responsible for flight, which are innervated by the brachial plexus. This study aims to describe the origin and distribution of peripheral nerves that make up the brachial plexus in Blue-and-yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna, Linnaeus, 1758), in order to aid the veterinarian to recognize and locate neuromuscular lesions in this species. We used five dead bodies, obtained from the Screening Center for Wild Animals in Paraíba, Brazil, in which the nerves were identified by direct dissection. Four nerve roots were viewed, originating three nerve trunks, which stem from the intervertebral spaces between the tenth cervical vertebra and the second thoracic vertebra. Nerves from the dorsal cord innervated extensor muscles, while ventral cord nerves innervated flexor muscles of the wing, in addition to the pectoral branches, responsible to innervate the superficial thoracic and shoulder muscles.

Como na grande maioria das aves, as Araras têm como seu principal meio de locomoção o voo. No entanto, a força e o impulso gerado durante o ciclo do bater das asas exigem um mecanismo de controle ativo neuromuscular e adaptações especializadas dos músculos responsáveis pelo voo, que são inervados pelo plexo braquial. Este estudo visa a descrever a origem e distribuição dos nervos periféricos que compõem o plexo braquial da Arara Canindé (Ara ararauna, Linnaeus, 1758), a fim de auxiliar o médico veterinário a reconhecer e localizar lesões neuromusculares nessa espécie. Foram utilizados cinco cadáveres, provenientes do Centro de Triagem de Animais Silvestres da Paraíba, nos quais os nervos foram identificados mediante dissecação direta. Foram visualizadas quatro raízes nervosas, originando três troncos nervosos, que são provenientes dos espaços intervertebrais entre da décima vértebra cervical e a segunda vértebra torácica. Os nervos provenientes do cordão dorsal inervavam os músculos extensores, enquanto os nervos do cordão ventral inervavam os músculos flexores da asa, além dos ramos peitorais, responsáveis pela inervação dos músculos superficiais torácicos e do ombro. Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2014-06-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/article/view/2175-7925.2014v27n3p15710.5007/2175-7925.2014v27n3p157Biotemas; v. 27 n. 3 (2014); 157-1662175-79250103-1643reponame:Biotemas (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/article/view/2175-7925.2014v27n3p157/27671Copyright (c) 2014 Kamal Achôa Filho, Márcio Nogueira Rodrigues, Erika Toledo da Fonseca, Rafael Magdanelo Leandro, Vanessa Bertagia Pasqualetti, Maria Angélica Miglinoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAchôa Filho, KamalRodrigues, Márcio Nogueirada Fonseca, Erika ToledoLeandro, Rafael MagdaneloPasqualetti, Vanessa BertagiaMiglino, Maria Angélica2017-10-19T18:46:14Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/32590Revistahttp://www.biotemas.ufsc.br/index.htmPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/oai||carlospinto@ccb.ufsc.br2175-79250103-1643opendoar:2017-10-19T18:46:14Biotemas (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
