Origem e distribuição das artérias mesentéricas cranial e caudal em veado-catingueiro (Mazama gouazoubira)

Abstract

In this work we study the branching of the cranial and caudal mesenteric artery in a kind of deer present in the South, Southwest, Northeast, North and Midwest regions of Brazil, popularly known as veado catingueiro (Mazama gouzoubira). The arterial vessels were observed from neoprene latex injected with 650 then were fixed in aqueous 10% formaldehyde. The results allowed us the following conclusions: the cranial mesenteric artery and mesenteric flow, and its branches supplying the duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, colon and rectum. Having quently to the cranial mesenteric arteries: pancreatic duodenal flow, middle colic, ilelocecocolic, and jejunal. And to the caudal mesenteric arteries: left colic and cranial rectal. Some anatomical variations were found, but the pattern followed similar citations domestic and wild animals.
