Anatomical variations of the canine adrenal vessels

Abstract

The blood supply of the adrenal glands comprises numerous branches from three types of arteries in humans: the superior adrenal artery, the middle superior adrenal artery and the inferior superior adrenal artery. A review on variations of these three types of adrenal arteries in humans has been published (Priya et al., 2022).
