The density of equine tissue at 37 degrees C. 1979

A I Webb, and B M Weaver

The density of the following equine tissues was measured: white and grey brain matter, myocardium, lung parenchyma, liver, spleen, gastrointestinal tract and contents, renal medulla and cortex, muscle, fat, tendon and bone. Statistical analysis indicated that there were highly significant differences in the values for density between horses and between tissues within horses. Values for density of eight different muscles were obtained for 18 horses and these were shown to differ highly significantly between horses and between muscles within horses. The values for splenic density differed highly significantly between those for knackery killed horses and for the barbiturate killed post morten room horses.
