In this research 30 heads of Iranian native male goats agedbetween 2-3-year-old were collected from Shahrekord abattoir. After collecting whole heads, they were fixedin 10% formalin and then many holes were made on the dorsal surface of skull followed by median andtransverse sectioning of the heads. Morphological characteristics of brain and distances from the bones ofskull to different structures of brain were measured using caliper device and needle and the best points weredetermined. By this method the best points to reach the hypophysis and lateral ventricle with 90° angle are in distances of 45.2 ± 2.23 mm and 20.92 ± 1.02 mm at bregma point.
