The detailed blood supply including microvascularization of pineal gland in the common tree shrew (Tupaia glis) was investigated using a vascular corrosion cast technique in conjunction with scanning electron microscopy. Adult common tree shrews of both sexes, divided into 3 groups, were injected with red latex, blue vinyl resin, and Batson's No. 17 plastic mixture for the studies of arterial supply, venous drainage, and microvasculature of the pineal gland, respectively. It was found that the pineal gland is a highly vascularized organ. It receives two to four branches from the medial posterior choroidal arteries. Two types of capillary arrangements, fan-like and network, are observed. As in the human, usually one and occasionally two pineal veins, draining directly into the great cerebral vein of Galen, are observed. A pineal portal system is not demonstrated.
采用血管铸型技术结合扫描电子显微镜，对普通树鼩（Tupaia glis）松果体的详细血液供应包括微血管化进行了研究。将成年雌雄普通树鼩分为3组，分别注射红色乳胶、蓝色乙烯基树脂和巴特森17号塑料混合物，以研究松果体的动脉供应、静脉引流和微血管系统。结果发现，松果体是一个血管高度丰富的器官。它从脉络膜后内侧动脉接收两到四个分支。观察到两种类型的毛细血管排列，即扇形和网状。与人类一样，通常观察到一到两条松果体静脉，直接汇入大脑大静脉（Galen静脉）。未发现松果体门脉系统。
