Arterial vascularization of the gastrointestinal tract in Macaca fascicularis (cynomologus monkey).
We describe the origin, course, and distribution of the arteries responsible for vascularization of the subdiaphragmatic gastrointestinal tract of Macaca fascicularis as well as the characteristics of the celiac trunk and the superior and inferior mesenteric arteries, studied in a series of 50 animals. Detailed knowledge of these systems is an essential requirement if experimental surgery is to be successfully performed in these laboratory animals.
