We recorded that the first branch of the femoral artery was a common trunk formed by the lateral femoral circumflex and the superficial caudal epigastric arteries, and that the deep femoral artery was absent in the chinchilla. The findings of our study suggest that the conformation of the femoral artery of this species showed nearly similarity to that of the rat. Results from this study are thought to throw light on the future studies on the arterial system, and to contribute to present anatomical knowledge in this species.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessanatomyfemoral arteryChinchilla lanigeraArticle15610506508Q3WOS:000233651400006Q4
