Özet

Konya merino’s kidneys were investigated using arterial distribution, dissection and corrosion cast techniques. Twelve kidneys were used in the study. It was observed that the kidneys were vascularized by a.renalis, which separated as a single branch from aorta abdominalis. The origin of the a.renalis dextra was determined in cranial from the a. renalis sinistra. A.renalis sinistra was found to be a longer and thicker structure than a.renalis sinistra. The renal artery was divided into two main branch (dorsal and ventral) after entering the hilum renis. However, half of the material had a third branch of the left artery. These branches, in both kidney was separated 2-4 pieces aa. interlobares. Dorsal and ventral branches did not show anastomosis between segments.
