Arterial Distribution in the Floor Region of the Rabbit Mouth Using the Plastic Injection Method

Abstract

The arterial distribution in the floor region of the mouth of the rabbit was studied by the acryl plastic injection method. The region was found to be supplied by the hyoid branch and the sublingual artery from the lingual artery, and the digastric branch from the facial artery.
In the region, the hyoid branch sent out a branch to the anterior and a branch to the inferior; the sublingual artery gave off the mylohyoid branch, the sublingual glandular branch and the genioglossal branch; and the digastric branch gave off the mylohyoid branch.
