Contribuição ao estudo da ramificação da artéria mesentérica cranial em fetos de bovinos azebuados

Abstract

Through dissection and analysis of 40 zebu bovine foetus, 20 female and 20 male, the results allow the following conclusions: The cranial mesenteric artery gives as collateral branches the vessels: adrenal branch, caudal pancreaticoduodenal artery, ascending duodenal artery, pancreatic branch, middle colic artery, common trunk for middle colic and right colic arteries, common trunk for ascending duodenal artery and jejunal branch, right colic artery, jejunal branch, common trunk for middle colic and caudal pancreaticoduodenal arteries, common trunk for right colic and caudal pancreaticoduodenal arteries, ileocecolic artery, Ascending Colon's branch and collateral branch. The cranial mesenteric artery gives as terminal branches the arteries: jejunal trunk, bifurcation in jejunal trunk and collateral branch and, bifurcation in jejunal trunk and common trunk for colateral and jejunal branches.
