title: [Architectonics of the blood vessels in the wall of the allantoamnion of the mare].
abstract: Alantoamnion vascularization was studied on clarified preparations from three mares in advanced pregnancy. Two large blood vessels (artery and vein) beginning from the umbilical vessels were found in the alantoamnion wall. Numerous anastomoses were observed at the passage between the arterial and the vein section. The large arteries had a thick, jely-like vascular wall and snake-like folded lumen. In separate sections of the alantoamnion wall a well developed capillary net was observed consisting of individual particles, polygonal in shape. Vast avascular zones surrounded by numerous vascular branches and anastomoses were found. It is presumed that the blood vessels in mare alantoamnion take an active part in amnion fluid production and metabolism.
