In this work we investigated the ramification of the celiac artery in buffaloes aiming to verify their arterial circulation in comparison to that found in bovines. Thirty 4-to-8-month-old crossbred buffalo fetuses (10 males and 20 females) were used as samples. After being injected with dyed Neopreme 650 latex, the vessels were properly dissected. The celiac artery presented different branching arrangements involving splenic, left ruminal, epiploic, right ruminal, reticular, left gastric and hepatic arteries.Downloads
