Branches of the abdominal aorta (1) are injected with red latex in a cat. The celiac a. (2) gives off a splenic a. (3), a left gastric a. (4), and a hepatic a. (not visible). The splenic a. supplies the spleen (5), pancreas (6), and stomach (7). Observe the cranial mesenteric a. (8) and the caudal mesenteric a. (9) supplying the descending colon (10). Notice a renal a. supplying the kidney (11), a testicular a. (arrows) going to the vaginal ring (asterisk), and a deep circumflex iliac a. (12).
