RELATION OF ARTERIAL VASCULARIZATION OF THE KIDNEY AND THE ADRENAL GLAND OF THE GERMAN SHEPHERD DOGS

Arterial vascularization of the kidney and the adrenal gland of the German shepherd dog was the subject of the present study. A number of eight German shepherd dogs regardles of sex with the age of six months to one year, provided from Gemlik Military Veterinary School and Education Center Commendership, were used in the study. The results obtained by injecting colored latex through the aorta have showed that the right and the left kidneys are supplied by the right and left renal arteries, a. renalis dextra et sinistra, respectively. The adrenal glands have also been shown receiving blood via the braches from the both renal and the both phrenicoabdominal arteries, a. phrenicoabdominalis dextra el sinistra, as indicated in the literature.
