SOME ANATOMICAL STUDIES ON THE INNERVATION OF THE STOMACH OF BUFFALO IN EGYPT (BOS, bubalis, L.).

The course and distribution of the two vagi are described in the stomach of buffalo. After reviewing the available literatures the obtained results are compared with those reported in other ruminants. Meagre difference are recorded between the buffalo and the ox.
The dorsal oesophageal nerve trunk gives : A-A Dorsal branch which supplies :
1. Filaments to the atrium ruminis (Rami atriales rumines), 2. Branch to the cranial groove (Ramus ad sulcum cranialem 3. Branches to gastric groove (Rami ad sulcum ventriculi), 4. Left ruminal nerve (Ramus ruminalis sinister), 5. Right ruminal nerve (Ramus ruminalis dexter),
B-A Ventra branch which supplies :
Rami reticulares caudales, 2-Anastomatic filaments to join the sympathetic and others to the ventral oesophageal
nerve trunk, 3. Rami omasales, 3 to 4 branches to the omasum, 4. Ramus ad curvaturam ma orem abomasi which gives
Rami abomasiales viscerales.
The ventral oesophageal nerve trunk gives : 1. A long pyloric nerve (Ramus pyloricus), 2. Rami abomasiales parietales. 3. Cranial reticular branch (Rami reticulares craniales) which,
gives branches to atrium ruminis (Rami atriales ruminis). 4. Smaller filament to the omasum (Rami omasiales) and the
reticulum.
