| Abstract | ||||
| The present study was carried out on ten adult, apparently healthy cat- tle egrets of different ages and sex- es. Each bird was exsanguinated and the descending aorta was cannulated and flushed with warm normal saline solution (0.9%), then injected with red colored gum milk latex. The origin, course and distribution of the celiac artery were described. The celiac artery erupted from the right face of the descending aorta opposite to the 4th or 5thvertebral rib, on a level with the junction of the esophagus and the proventriculus. It gave off the Aa. esophageales, A. proventricularis dorsalis, Aa. lienales, and A. hepatica, then bifurcated into left and right branches. The left branch of the celiac artery gave off A. proventricularis ventralis and A.gastrica ventralis then continued as the A.gastrica sinistra. The right branch of the celiac artery released the Aa. Ileocecales, Rr. succi, A. gastroduodenalis, A. gastrica dextra then continued as A. pancreaticoduodenalis. | ||||
