The vascularization of the rat pineal gland was investigated with, respectively, latex and resin injection preparations of the cephalic blood vessels in adult Wistar rats. From the dissection of the latex-injected and aldehyde-fixed rat brains under the stereo light microscope it was found that the arterial supply comes exclusively from separate branches of the posterior cerebral artery. The pineal area was dissected out from the resin injected and corroded specimens under the stereo light microscope and was inspected in the SEM. The supplying arteries, identified on the basis of their endothelial cell imprint patterns, were 4 to 6 in number with a diameter of 20 to 40 micron. The venous drainage consisted of 12 to 16 short veins with a diameter of 40 to 60 micron, all draining directly into the great cerebral vein and thereafter via the sinus influens immediately into the systemic venous circulation.
分别用乳胶和树脂注射法对成年Wistar大鼠头部血管进行制备，以此研究大鼠松果体的血管分布情况。在立体显微镜下解剖经乳胶注射并醛固定的大鼠脑，发现其动脉供应仅来自大脑后动脉的不同分支。在立体显微镜下从经树脂注射和腐蚀处理的标本中分离出松果体区域，并在扫描电子显微镜下进行观察。根据内皮细胞印记模式确定的供应动脉有4至6条，直径为20至40微米。静脉引流由12至16条短静脉组成，直径为40至60微米，所有静脉均直接汇入大脑大静脉，然后通过流入窦立即进入体循环静脉。
