CELIOMESENTERIC AFFERENCE OF THE DORSOLUMBAR NEUROMERS IN HORSE by CARMEN BERGHEŞ, MONICA PÂRVU, D. CUCA, M. CUCOANEŞ, CRISTINA DINU

“…The frequent variability of the splanchnic branches in all species creates difficulties both in carrying out physiological experiments and, particularly, in interpreting the clinical data; given the need for an in depth study of the comparative physiology, this paper presents some specifications concerning the neuroglandular relations in the mesenteric area in horses. …”
