VENOUS DRAINAGE OF THE CORIUM AND OTHER STRUCTURES OF THE FORE FOOT OF ONE-HUMPED CAMEL (Camelus dromedarius)

The study was undertaken to provide some informations aboutthe plexuses of the corium and the relations of the veins to other stuctures in connection with functions and surgical interference of the fore foot in the one-humped camel. Fourty four feet of thoracic limbs were studied after injection by vinilyte or latex. The venous blood from the solar corium (the largest in the camel) is drained mainly by the branches of the abaxial and axial proper digital veins. The solar corium has very rich plexuses, which are represented by a single layer formed by veins of different sizes, leaving the spaces of various geometrical outlines e.g. quadrilateral hexagonal, quadrate, round and triangular. The venous plexuses of the parietal corium form single layer and can be divided into laminar and non-laminar parts. The venous plexuses of perioplic corium are ill-developed. Three dorsal and three palmar arches for each digit are described in the text. The results presented in this paper might help in surgical interference.
