Morphology of the aortic arch and its branches in Maine Coon cats

The morphology of the aortic arch and its branches deserves special attention. have a different sequence sometimes patterns discharge depending on type animal. All mammals left that emerges from ventricle heart. remnant right is subclavian artery, which may originate brachiocephalic trunk, or independently arch. use computed tomography magnetic resonance imaging, angiography with intravenous contrast agents as methods visual diagnostics requires clear knowledge variational arch, taking into account breed characteristics. study aims to in Maine Coon cats determine their morphometric material for was corpses cats. authors studied only five animals (two females three males). chose fine anatomical dissection latex-injected arteries morphometry research methods. found cats, artery depart division bifurcation, there trunk common carotid arteries. successively give off branches: vertebral internal thoracic, costocervical brachial trunk. Differences branching are noted along first branch thoracic artery. When analyzing obtained data diameter significantly greater than - 1.64 times 2.20 An analysis cross-sectional area main shows receive maximum development.
