Abstract
In this study, is designed primarily to identify, describe and illustrates the topography of the visceral organs of the Egyptian tortoise (Testudo kleinmanni)by using the digital camera and Computed tomography that aid the nonspecialists to obtaining acomplete data on dissection procedure, the topography and the initial sections outline. The core of present study is a series of photographs showing stages of the dissection. These are accompanied by detailed describing dissection methods to the exposed organs. Thirteen wild adult live tortoises Testudo kleinmanni, (three males and ten females) were collected from Marsa matroh and Cairo governorates with an average age from(15-19 years), weight from (430–450 gm), and a carapace,plastron length (10.5-11cm)and (9.5-9.8)cm respectively.Computed tomography provides detailed information on the respiratory system, and the location of the coelomic structures with respect to the carapace (the upper shell) and the vertebrae that improving safety of access in surgical procedures. Also, to compare cross-sectional anatomic specimens that obtained by the digital camera with images obtained via computed tomography sections of the coelomic structures.
