[Arterial vascularization of the vertebral column. Injection-corrosion-fluorescence technic].

The authors have used the technique of injection-corrosion-fluorescence for a better knowledge of the arterial vascularization of the vertebral column of dogs. The vascular molds have been observed under ultraviolet light, and the magnificent fluorescence allowed easy reading of the results. At the cervical level they are the vertebral and the deep cervical arteries as the main arterial sources, at the thoracic level it is the intercostal, and in the lumbar region the lumbar arteries.
