[Functional anatomy of the visceral arteries in the abdominal cavity of the horse. Considerations with reference to intestinal colic].
The microscopic structure of the arteries was investigated in the gastro-intestinal tract of the horse. The median artery was also studied for comparative purposes. The adventitia is responsible for the holding and suspension of the visceral arteries. Disturbances in this system are considered to be a prime factor leading to chronically deficient blood flow. This is associated with pain which is generally classified as colics.
