Abstract
Corrosion preparations of hepatic vessels were prepared from the 6 monkeys of Macacus fuscatus blyth, and they were subjected to the investigations by comparative anatomy.
The liver of the monkey is divided into 3 parts of the left, middle and the right lobes. The middle lobe is further separated into 2 parts by a small notch.
In the vena portae, the angle at the bifurcation of the truncus sinister and the truncus dextralis as well as angle of the cuve drawn by the pars transversa and the pars umbilicalis do not show any appreciable difference from respective findings of the human being.
Ramus dorsalis of monkey starts from a portion slightly higher than that of the human being and is distributed mostly in the left lobe. Ramus centralis is distributed in the right lobe, the left ramus lateralis of the truncus sinister of pars umblicalis is distributed in the left side of the middle lobe. While, the right ramus lateralis of the same is distributed in the left half portion of the right side of the middle lobe. Rarnus caudalis of the truncus dextralis further is distributed in the right half portion of the right side of the middle lobe.
Generally, monkeys have a larger number of hepatic veins than the human being.
