Regional blood flow and collateral circulation of the tongue in the dog studied by hydrogen polarography.
Regional lingual blood flow was measured by hydrogen polarography under control conditions and after the subsequent ligation of pertinent arteries in dogs. The results indicate a nonhomogeneous blood supply for the tongue and the existence of a complex collateral circulation in the lingual areas studied.
