Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The creamy-white colored spleen of Bangladeshi horse was triangular, comma shaped. The mean length was 19.187 ± 0.394 cm, width was 6.287 ± 1.156 cm and thickness was 1.437 ± 0.260 cm. It was supplied by single splenic artery, which was the largest branch of the coeliac artery. The coeliac artery was given several branches 0.7 cm away from the abdominal aorta and the main branch was the splenic artery. The main stem of splenic artery runs away from the hilus to the apex and gave off seventeen prominent branches that was entered into the parenchyma of spleen as it was situated superficially on the visceral surface. Among these branches, the most cranial one, just 0.8 cm deep from the hilus gave off several sub-branches that supplied the major basal portion of the spleen.

Start Date: 00-01-2002

End Date: 00-06-2002

Program Area: Animal Health and Management

Commodity: Horse

Objectives:

To study the morphometry with arterial supply of spleen of horse in Bangladesh.

Methodology:

The study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy and Histology, Faculty of Veterinary Science, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, Bangladesh during the period from January to June 2002. Four apparently healthy adult horses were used in this study. After proper anaesthetic measures, the animals were bled to kill by incision of the left common carotid artery. Then the animals were fixed with 10% buffer neutral formalin. After opening the left side of the abdominal cavity the topography of the organs, color, length, breadth and thickness of the organs were studied. Then the dissection was made to trace-out the origin of the splenic artery, the branch of the coeliac artery. The branching and distributions of the splenic artery inside the organ were studied with the help of magnifying glass and by dissecting microscope.

Achievement/Findings:

In the present investigation, the main stem of splenic artery runs away from the hilus to the apex and gave off seventeen prominent branches that was entered into the parenchyma of spleen as it was situated superficially on the visceral surface. Among these branches, the most cranial one, just 0.8 cm deep from the hilus gave off several sub- branches that supplied the major basal portion of the spleen. The splenic vein runs in the hilus in accompany with the artery and nerves, and joins the gastro-duodenal vein to form a large radical of the portal vein.
