Abstract

In modern specialized literature, there is a large amount of information on age-related changes in the body of fur-bearing animals, small ruminants and pigs. Previously, we studied the growth and development of young rats, but information related to the growth and development of the skeletal system in the age aspect is insufficient. In this regard, the aim was to study age-related changes in the growth and development of the skeletal system on the example of the 4th tail vertebra of rats.

The study was conducted on the basis of the departments of physiology and pathological physiology, as well as therapy and clinical diagnostics with radiology of the Kazan SAVM. The object of this study was rats (n=3) aged 3 months. The subject of the study was radiographs of rat tails. Starting from the age of 3 months with a frequency of once a month, rats underwent X-ray examination. It was found that the intensity of growth of the caudal vertebra changes with age. The tail vertebrae grow most intensively until the age of 4 months, then the growth rate decreases. The ratio of the length of the vertebral body to its width throughout the entire development period of the studied animal changes insignificantly, the coefficient of variation is 4%, which confirms the constancy of this indicator. The length and width of the spongy substance in rats of different ages had a coefficient of variation greater than 10%, but less than 20%, which indicates moderate variability of the observed traits and allows us to assert that the process of resorption of compact and spongy substance has a certain influence on age-related changes.
