Abstract (English):
The research objective was studying anatomic fea- tures of respiratory system of pythons and pathoanatomical changes at pneumonia. The research problems were to analyse anatomic features of respira- tory system of snakes, in particular carpet pythons; to study pathoanatomical manifestations of pneumonia in carpet pythons of bacterial etiology. The study was con- ducted at the Department of Anatomy and Physiology of FSFEI HE SAU of Northern Trans-Urals. For the re- search of morphological changes 3 carpet pythons with revealed pneumonia of bacterial character were taken. The existence of a long trachea and only of left lung consisting of two departments (the lung itself and pneumatic bag) are snakes’ features of respiratory sys- tem. In a lung by histologic consideration the structure is observed only up to the level of bronchioles. Pathoanatomical manifestation of bacterial pneumonia in carpet pythons was reflected in the following chang- es: in the throat and trachea mucous membrane - pale red color, with exudate availability; in the lungs - the hyperemia of dark red color, on the section follows exudate when pressing from the tissue of the lung; the lung - elas- tic consistence (reminding liver on consistence); air bubble - of dark red color, filled with a small amount ofair. Because of very long trachea and the existence of an air bag in pythons at emergence of inflammatory processes in lungs, especially exudative gas exchange, and also the access of preparations from blood to lung parenchyma were complicated. Also there can be an obstruction of very long trachea exudate. Owing to ana- tomic features of a respiratory path in pythons such dis- ease as pneumonia, is extremely dangerous and can lead to lethal outcome.
