The hoof of yak consists of hoof capsule (epidermis), hoof corium (dermis and hypodermis) and phalanx (Fig. 1). Distal phalanx and about 1/2 middle phalanx are covered by hoof capsule (Fig. 2). Anatomical features of the forelimb of yak resemble those of hindlimb, including hoof periphery, hoof coronal, hoof wall, hoof sole, and

Our findings highlight the main morphological features of yak and provide a morphological basis useful to researchers using yak hoof. Keywords: anatomy; artery; forelimb; hindlimb; histology; yak. The fore- and hindlimb of yak have been studied by the gross anatomical methods and standard histological techniques.

The findings highlight the main morphological features of yak and provide a morphological basis useful to researchers using yak hoof. The fore- and hindlimb of yak have been studied by the gross anatomical methods and standard histological techniques. The artery of ungula was also determined by X-ray and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene casting.

The yak foot has two main hooves and two suspensory hooves, and the hooves play an important role in its locomotion . And the hoof capsule, as an important part in direct contact with the ground, can instantly withstand a huge external impact, absorb the impact, and effectively reduce the vibration caused by the impact [39,40,41]. In this study ...

2024年4月25日 · The structural characteristics of the yak foot sole with a high outer edge and low middle, which has excellent soil fixation ability and is an excellent bionic prototype, can improve the friction between the foot and the ground.

Anatomical features of the forelimb of yak resemble those of hindlimb, including hoof periphery, hoof coronal, hoof wall, hoof sole, and hoof sphere. The forelimb and hindlimb are almost the same in histological structure.

The yak’s hoof shape makes them surefooted in often treacherous terrain — a capacity that made them an ideal beast of burden. As protection against predators yak have an instinct to group into tight herds (Ding et al . 2008) in the face of danger.

Yak (Bos grunniens) is a special plateau mammal that lives in the extreme environments of the Tibetan highlands, which has the basic features of extreme cold, high altitudes with reduced oxygen content in the air, and high ultraviolet radiation. The altitude where yaks live normally is over 3000–6000 meters high.
