Abstract

The aim of the present study is to investigate the anatomical variation of the morphological description of the normal kidneys of two vertebrates, the cat and the owl, which share a diet but differ in habitat. The results revealed the following: The kidney in cats is a solid, bean-like structure, reddish-brown in colour, smooth in surface, not lobed, and enclosed in a thick capsule of connective tissue. In comparison, the kidney of an owl is smooth and divided into three lobes of different sizes and shapes. It is larger in size, oblong, dark red-brown in colour, and enclosed in a thin capsule of connective tissue. The results showed that the kidneys in cats are located in the anterior region of the body cavity, below the diaphragm, and opposite the dorsal body wall, and are in pairs (right and left kidneys). In comparison, the kidneys in owls are in a symmetrical pair connected by a fibrous ligament and are located in a bony depression called the renal fossa, located in the sacral region integrated into the body cavity. Anatomical findings showed that the main blood supply to the kidneys in cats is provided by a pair of renal arteries branching from the aorta, compared to, owl kidneys receive blood from three pairs of renal arteries (anterior, middle, and posterior), which also branch from the aorta.

Abstract

The current study aimed to know the prevalence of overweight and obesity rates among primary school children in Baquba district. The total number of samples was (105) samples (59 males and 46 females). The samples were obtained from children in primary schools from a special form prepared by the researcher that included (Sex, age, height, weight, mass, residence ). The results show that the number of overweight males is higher than the number of overweight females, as the number of males was 35 males, representing 59.32%, while the number of females was 24 females, representing 40.67%. The number of obese males is higher than the number of obese females, as the number of males was 32 males, representing 69.56%, while the number of females was 14 females, representing 30.43%. The results showed that the highest rate of overweight was among males living in the city, where the number of those infected was 23 males, and that the highest rate of obesity was among males living in the city, where the number of those infected was 21. We note that the lowest rate of infection was among females suffering from obesity living in the village, where the number of those infected was 4 females, representing 8.69%. Highlights: Higher overweight and obesity rates in males than females. Urban males have the highest overweight and obesity prevalence. Rural females have the lowest obesity rate (8.69%).
