Arterial Supply of the Intestine of Baladi Rabbit

Received: Revised: Accepted: February 08, 2014 February 27, 2014 March 05, 2014 Twenty apparently adult healthy Baladi rabbit of both sexes were used in this study to demonstrate the arterial supply of the intestinal tract. Immediately after slaughtering of rabbits, the thoracic part of the aorta was injected by gum milk latex colored red with carmine just prior to its passage through the hiatus aorticus of the diaphragm. The study confirmed that the intestinal tract received its arterial blood supply primarily from the cranial and caudal mesenteric arteries. It also agreed with the fact those additional branches from gastroduodenal as well as the middle rectal and caudal rectal arteries.
