The venous drainage of the heart in porcupines (Hystrix cristata)
Özet
The venous drainage of the heart in porcupines (Hystrix cristata)
was investigated. Each of the five adult porcupines (three
males, two females) was injected with a coloured latex mixture
via the V. cava caudalis for the demonstration of the cardiac
veins. The dissection of the specimens revealed that the venous
drainage of the heart in porcupines was made by the V. cordis
magna, V. distalis ventriculi sinistri, V. proximalis ventriculi
sinistri, V. cordis caudalis (the left marginal vein), V. cordis
media and Vv. cordis dextrae. The cardiac veins were observed
in a subepicardial course on the heart except for the
R. interventricularis paraconalis. The R. interventricularis
paraconalis showed an intramyocardial course until the middle
of the sulcus interventricularis paraconalis, and a subepicardial
course after this point. The V. cordis magna and V. distalis
ventriculi sinistri opened to the sinus coronarius. The V. cordis
caudalis and the V. cordis media drained into the V. cava
caudalis. The venous drainage of the conus arteriosus was
made by the left V. coni arteriosi opening to the R. interventricularis
paraconalis, and by the right V. coni arteriosi
which continued to the Vv. cordis dextrae.
