ABSTRACT
The cerebellum of the cow fetuses age 8,12,14,16,18,20, 23 weeks were used in this work. Morphometric analysis of cerebellum nuclei in fetal life of cattle were examinated.The material was imbedded in parafin and sections were cut in the frontal plane and stained according to the Nissl’s, Klüver- Barrera’s method and with cresyl violet. The measurement of neurocyte and neuroblastes was done by morphometrical analysis in program Multi Scan. The length, wight and area of the cyton and diameter of the neurocytes nuclei were measure. According to the results the graphs showing the changes of examined parameters in various developmentalperiod were made.
Key words: cerebellum, development, nucleus dentatus and n. fastigii, cattle.
