Resumo: | In Brazil, there are two species of tapirs, the largest land mammals in Brazil, which belong to the order Perissodactyla, as do horses. Our aim was to describe the bone and muscular anatomy of the forearm and hand in T. terrestris and to propose adaptive functions. We used five anatomical specimens donated from a breeder to the Laboratory for Teaching and Research on Wild Animals of the Federal University of Uberlandia after death with no trauma. The bones were analyzed, the muscles dissected, and both described. The bones of the forearm and hand of the tapir are the ulna, radius, Os. metacarpalia, Os. carpi, phalanx and Os. sesamoideum. The muscles are M. extensor carpi radialis, M. ulnaris lateralis; M. flexor carpi radialis; M. extensor radialis communis; M. extensor digitorum longus II, III, IV and V, M. extensor digitorum lateralis; M. extensor digitorum; M. abductor longus; M. flexor digiti superficialis; M. flexor digitalis; M. flexor carpi ulnaris; M. flexor carpi obliquus; and M. interossei and M. lumbricales. Characteristics of bone and muscle structure are adapted to the development of the animal’s niche. |

Bone and muscular anatomy of the forearm and hand in Tapirus terrestris (Perissodactyla, Tapiridae)Anatomia óssea e muscular do antebraço e mão de Tapirus terrestris (Perissodactyla, Tapiridae)In Brazil, there are two species of tapirs, the largest land mammals in Brazil, which belong to the order Perissodactyla, as do horses.

Objetivou-se descrever a anatomia óssea e muscular do antebraço e mão de Tapirus terrestris e fazer considerações adaptativas. Foram utilizadas cinco peças anatômicas doadas por um criadouro ao Laboratório de Ensino e Pesquisa em Animais Silvestres da Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (LAPAS-UFU), após óbito sem traumas. Os ossos foram analisados, os músculos dissecados, e ambos descritos. Os ossos que constituem o esqueleto do antebraço e mão da anta são a ulna, rádio, metacarpos, carpos, falanges e sesamoides. Os músculos são: M. extensor carpo radial, M. ulnar lateral, M. flexor carpo radial, M. extensor radial comum, M. extensor longo dos dedos II, III, IV e V, M. extensor digital lateral, M. abdutor longo, M. flexor digital superficial, M. flexor digital profundo, M. flexor carpo ulnar, M. flexor oblíquo do carpo, M. interósseos e M. lumbricais. Os acidentes ósseos e a estrutura muscular estão adaptados para o desenvolvimento do nicho do animal.
