[Blood vessel studies of the tail area of the domestic buffalo].
Observations, preparations, schemes, and roentgenography were employed to investigate the location, number, size, and branching of the big arterial and venous vessels in the tail of seven buffaloes of the local breed and crosses with Murrha. It was found that the tail was strongly supplied with blood vessels in the proximal end, and was to a lesser extent supplied with blood in its distal part. The median tail artery and its branching were found to form arcs and loops. The tail branches of this artery often had a common trunk. The ventro- and dorsolateral arteries and veins were not well formed. The tail was shown to be drained by a total of three veins: one median and two lateral, which had almost equal length and formed anastomoses between each other. According to the authors, the tail form a suitable site for venepunctions with buffaloes with special reference to to some peculiarities in the form and location of their horns.
