| Abstract | ||||
| The present study was carried out on eight adult, apparently healthy chickens of both sexes. The birds were slaughtered and the descend- ing aorta was cannulated and flushed with warm normal saline (0.9%). Then birds were injected with colored gum milk latex. The origin, course and distribution of the celiac artery were studied. The celiac artery originated from the de- scending aorta in the level with the 5th rib. It proceeded ventrally and slight cranial were it gave off the esophageal artery after few mm from its origin, the dorsal proven- tricular artery just before its bifurca- tion into right and left branches at the cranial end of the spleen. | ||||
