Abstract

Were described the arterial distribution of the vessels in the celomatic cavity of six Kinosternon scorpioides scorpioides adults. The arterial circuit was filled out with red-faced latex, fixation in solution formaldehyd to 10% and dissection subsequent. It was evidenced that the irrigation of the organs of the cavity celomatic happens starting from two aorta, the left and the right aorta that form the dorsal aorta. The left aorta becomes separated in two branches the celiac and the mesenteric artery. The celiac branch originate two gastric arteries. While the mesenteric artery answers for the irrigation of the segments of the small intestines and thick, besides contributing for the irrigation of the spleen, through the esplenic artery. The right aorta joins the left aorta to form the dorsal aorta, this emits branches to the kidneys and genital organs of the female and of the male, before of the division in the right and left common iliacs arteries. It is possible to conclude that the Kinosternon s. scorpioides showed certain likeness with other chelonies species , in relation the origin and the distribution of the aortas, with some variations in what refers the distribution of your primary branches.

KEY WORDS: Anatomy, arteries, Kinosternon scorpioides scorpioides.
