Anatomical studies on the arterial supply of the dromedary camel

The study of the arterial supply of the stomach of the dromedary camel was carried out on 20 specimens of adult subjects, and 5 specimens of full-term foetuses.The specimens were injected -through the coeliac artery with a latexinjection mass coloured with carmine, using ”TGMBSEfT and WAKELEY technique (1956)11.A brief review of the available literature on the blood supply of both monolocular and multilocular stomachsis given. It includes also the morphology of the different compartments of the stomach of the camel A compne hens+ve description of the course and pattern of distrib1;.tion of the coeliac artery and its branches is givenThe chief branches of the coeliac artery of the camel are similar to those in other ruminants, but theircourse and distribution vary somewhat in accordance with the peculiar morphological features of the stomach of this animal.An instructive list of the various branches of the coeliac artery is included and the nomenclature usedcomplies with those most recently adopted.
