Study of morphological characteristic of health cats erithrocytes / Estudo das características morfológicas das hemácias de felinos (Felis cati, L., 1758) normais

Some morphologic aspects of healthy cats erythrocytes were studied. In 20 cats, the values obtained were the following, expressed by mean and standard deviation: Red blood cells diameter (µ) .................................................................................... 5,58 ±0,23 Mean corpuscular thickness (µ) ............................................................................... 1,81 ±0,23 Reticulocytes (%) ...................................................................................................... 0,02 ± 0,01 Reticulocytes (thousand/cu mm)................................................................................. 0,15 ±0,07 Red blood cells containing Howell-Jolly bodies (%) ............................................... 0,1 7 ± 0,08 Red blood cells containing Howell-Jolly bodies (thousand /cu mm) ........................ 1,24 +0,69 Diameter of red blood cells containing Howell-Jolly bodies (µ) ................................5,43 ± 0,35 Howell-Jolly bodies diameter (µ) ............................................................................. 0,87 ± 0,1 6 The Price-Jones curve demonstrated that there is a light anisocythosis in cat peripheral blood. The minimum and maximum osmotic fragility to hipotonic saline were observed, respectively at 0,76% and 0,52%.

Foram analisados alguns aspectos morfológicos dos elementos sanguíneos da linhagem vermelha de felinos normais, estabelecendo o número de reticulócitos no sangue periférica, o número de hemácias contendo corpusculos de Howetl-Jolly em seu interior, o diâmetro médio das hemácias, a curva de Price-Jones padrao para a espécie e a curva de fragilidade osmótica das hemácias.
