Artérias e segmentos anatomocirúrgicos da glândula adrenal em fetos de bovinos

The arteries and the anatomicosurgical segments of the adrenal glands of 30 bovine fetuses were studied after arterial injection of Neoprene latex and dissection. The right adrenal gland may be supplied by 8 arteries and the left one by 10, showing characteristic arrangements to each side. The number of anatomicosurgical segments varied from 5 to 11. The most frequent number of segments in the right gland was 3 (60%) and in the left one was 3 (33.3%) or 4 (30%).
