title: The caroticobasilar artery in species of order Perissodactyla.
abstract: The caroticobasilar artery was investigated in animals of order Perissodactyla, in species of Equidae family, and in lowland tapir of Tapridae family. It was found that the caroticobasilar artery forms homolateral or bilateral anastomosis between the basilar and internal carotid arteries or in horse and other species of Equidae family between basilar and caudal intercarotid arteries. The caroticobasilar artery was found in all species of Equidae family, in all zebras and in one tapir.
