Although the omentum remains an enigmatic organ, research during the last decades has revealed its fascinating functions including fat storage, fluid drainage, immune activity, angiogenesis and adhesion. While clinicians both in human and veterinary medicine are continuously exploring new potential omental applications, detailed anatomical data on the canine omentum are currently lacking, and information is often retrieved from human medicine. In this study, the topographic anatomy of the canine greater and lesser omentum is explored in depth. Current nomenclature is challenged, and a more detailed terminology is proposed. Consistent arteries that are contained within folds of the superficial omental wall are documented, described and named, as they can provide the anatomical landmarks that are necessary for unambiguous scientific communication on the canine omentum. In an included dissection video, the conclusions and in situ findings described in this study are demonstrated.
尽管网膜仍是一个神秘的器官，但过去几十年的研究揭示了它迷人的功能，包括脂肪储存、液体引流、免疫活动、血管生成和粘连。虽然人类和兽医学的临床医生都在不断探索网膜的新潜在应用，但目前缺乏关于犬网膜的详细解剖数据，且信息通常取自人类医学。在本研究中，对犬大网膜和小网膜的局部解剖进行了深入探索。对当前的命名法提出了挑战，并提出了更详细的术语。记录、描述并命名了包含在网膜浅壁褶皱内的恒定动脉，因为它们可以提供在犬网膜上进行明确科学交流所需的解剖学标志。在一个包含的解剖视频中，展示了本研究中描述的结论和原位发现。
