Photographs showing the intrahepatic branches of the portal vein in Rabbit. (A and B): Visceral surface of the rabbit liver – dissected- injected with colored latex neoprene. A. Gall bladder in situ (injected), B. Gall bladder was removed. (C) colored latex neoprene cast– caudal view. (D) Radiographic X-ray film. 

Figure 3

Photographs showing the blood supply of the pancreas and spleen in rabbit -dissected- injected with colored latex neoprene. (A): branches of the celiac trunk. (B): branches of the splenic artery. (C,D): Photographs showing the arterial supply of the body and right pancreatic lobe by branches of the gastroduodenal and caudal pancreaticoduodenal arteries. 

Figure 4

Photographs showing the branches of the extrahepatic tributaries of the portal vein draining the pancreas and spleen in rabbit, alongside their satellite arteries rabbit -dissected- injected with colored latex neoprene. (A): the extrahepatic tributaries of the portal vein, notice the gastrosplenic vein is cut and reflected. (B): the splenic vein and its branches. (C): branches of the gastroduodenal vein.
