Abstract

The venous drainage of the gastrointestinal tract in the goat was performed by means of three main vessels; V. gastroduodenalis, V. lienalis and V. mesentrica cranialis. The termer, vascularized the duodenum and abomasum. The V. lienalis drained the four compartments of the stomach. The V. mesentrica cranialis conveyed the venous blood from the small intestine and the ascending colon. The present study revealed that, the venous blood of the transverse and descending colons was drained by the V. mesentrica cranialis which is considered as a collateral branch of the V. mesentrica cranialis. The study also demonstrated a considerable amount of venous anastomoses within the entire wall of the abomasum, formed between the gastric branches of the V. gastric sinistra, V. gastroepiploica sinistra, V. gastric dextra and V. gastroepiploic dextra. The suitable sites for surgical approach in case of ruminal and reticular affections were also described.
