摘要:The arterial blood supply and innervation of the inner ear especially the cochlea of the camel was examined both macroscopically and microscopically using different techniques. The aim of this study to observe any variation between the arterial blood supply and innervation of the camel and the other mammals. The results of this study show variation between the camel and the other domestic animals in the course of the main arterial blood vessel, which supply the inner ear, caudal cerebellar artery. Also, the angle of vestibulocochlear nerve and facial nerve at internal acoustic meatus is recorded. The cochlear artery and nerve show type of modification in the modulus of the cochlea, which influences in the morphology of the cochlea and consequently in physiological function. We conclude that, though both routes cleared the parasitaemia and the intravenous route was well tolerated, no summative comparative advantage was seen over the intramuscular routes in the parameters observed in this study. Further work is needed to examine if advantage can be observed in long term prevention of relapse by the intravenous route.
