title: The vascular arrangement of the nasal septum of the Mongolian gerbil. A scanning electron microscopy study.
abstract: This paper reports the results of a scanning electron microscopy (S.E.M.) study on the vascular arrangement of the nasal septum of the gerbil rat. Using the microcorrosion cast technique we were able to visualize the overall picture of the capillary beds of the nasal septum. With this technique we could demonstrate the different levels of the arterious and venous arrangements in the septal mucosa.
