They are closely related to the birds, a relationship which is immediately apparent in a comparison of the structure of the inner ear ...

Morphology of the ovary of Caiman crocodilus (Crocodylia: Alligatoridae)

Annals of Anatomy - Anatomischer Anzeiger, 2004
We describe the ovarian histology and characterize the folliculogenesis of adult females of Caiman crocodilus in order to compare them with other species of Reptilia.

Thalamic reticular nucleus in Caiman crocodilus: forebrain connections

Neuroscience Letters, 2016
Forebrain connections of the thalamic reticular nucleus associated with the lateral forebrain bundle were analyzed in Caiman crocodilus. Both the compact portion, the dorsal peduncular nucleus, and the diffuse part, the perireticular region, associated with the lateral forebrain bundle, were studied.

Effects of stress and ACTH on plasma corticosterone levels in the caiman Caiman crocodilus

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 1976
Abstract Corticosterone levels in blood plasma of the caiman were measured in response to the collection of blood and to the administration of mammalian ACTH. Blood collection resulted in an increase in plasma corticosterone levels; the highest levels of corticosterone were observed 2 hr after the initial sample, and corticosterone levels declined ...

The dorsal column nucleus in a reptile, Caiman crocodilus

Neuroscience Letters, 1983
The dorsal column nucleus of Caiman crocodilus was identified by using standard orthograde techniques to trace the degeneration that resulted from dorsal rhizotomies in brachial and lumbar regions. Although the dorsal column nucleus was difficult to locate in Nissl and fiber preparations, it was easily identified in histochemical material because it ...
