For this purpose, ten heads of adult Angora goats obtained from a slaughterhouse were used. The ramifications of the latex enjected descending palatine artery and their vomeronasal organ-related findings were revealed by fine dissection and transverse sections. Arterial blood reached the caudally vomeronasal organ primarily via the sphenopalatine artery, and also cranially via a fine branch of the major palatine artery by crossing the palatine fissure. The average diameters of both the descending palatine artery and its branches were thicker on the left side than on the right, and its ramifications were not variable in this species.en10.17221/5518-VETMEDinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessvomeronasal organdescending palatine arteryanatomyAngora goatArticle5125559Q3WOS:000235718000003Q3
