Arterial vascularisation of the atrioventricular node in bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus).

摘要

The aim of this study was to define the anatomic characteristics of the principal arterial source of the atrioventricular node, known as the artery of the atrioventricular node. Ten healthy hearts of bactrian camel were studied by means of injecting a. coronaria sinistra and a. coronaria dextra with red and white coloured 15% ABS (Acrylonitrile, Butadiene and Styrene), followed by corrosion with concentrated hydrochloric acid, and then the vascular casts were described and measured. The results showed arterial blood supply for the atrioventricular node just stems from a. coronary adextra.
