A comparative macro-anatomic investigation on the intrarenal segmentationof the renal artery in goats and Morkaraman sheep

摘要

The study was conducted on arterial vascularisation of the kidneys obtained from goats and Morkaraman sheep, both produced in Kars and its Province (a number of 20 kidneys from 10 goats, and 20 kidneys from 10 Morkaraman sheep). Takilon (Monomethyl-methacrylate and Polymethylmethacrylate) was administrated into renal artery of the kidneys. It was apparently observed that renal artery divided into dorsal and ventral branches, pained ramus dorsalis and ramus ventralis. Among the sheep kidneys studied, only one revealed anastomosis between ramus dorsalis and ramus ventralis. The renal arrangement of these branches was as follows; interlobar, arcuate and interlobular branches. The mean number' and origin of interlobular branches in sheep was 4.05 from dorsal branch and 4.55 from ventral branch, while in goats it was 4.95 and 5.10 respectively.
