The coronary arterial epicardial network in the monkey Macaca fascicularis was studied. The study concerned 11 hearts of healthy and fertile animals of both sexes. The morphological and morphometric results of the studies performed by microdissection revealed that: In all examined cases of the Macaca fascicularis the heart was supplied by blood through the left and right coronary arteries. The left coronary artery had a larger external diameter (1.2 mm-2.5 mm, average 1.8 mm) than the right one (0.7 mm-1.2 mm, average 0.9 mm). The left coronary artery, with the average length of 4.3 mm (1.8 mm-6.5 mm), usually (82%) ended by bifurcation in to the anterior interventricular and the circumflex branch, and less frequently (18%) by trifurcation forming, in this way, another branch: the left marginal branch. The anterior interventricular branch had the larger external diameter (0.9 mm-1.7 mm, average 1.3 mm) than the circumflex one (0.7 mm-1.7 mm, average 1.1 mm). Most frequently (73%) it could be traced along the diaphragmatic cardiac surface. The circumflex branch usually (73%) terminated as the posterior interventricular branch, and less frequently (9%) as one of the right posterior ventricular branches. The long type of the right coronary artery was observed in 45% of the cases. The presence of the myocardial bridges over the branches of the left coronary artery was found in 54% of the examined hearts. The great resemblance between the Macaca fascicularis subepicardial network with the corresponding one in humans suggest that Macacus fascicularis is a suitable experimental animal for functional studies of the cardiovascular system.
对猕猴（食蟹猴）的冠状动脉心外膜网络进行了研究。该研究涉及11只健康且具有生育能力的雌雄动物的心脏。通过显微解剖进行的研究的形态学和形态测量结果显示：在所有检查的食蟹猴病例中，心脏由左、右冠状动脉供血。左冠状动脉的外径（1.2毫米 - 2.5毫米，平均1.8毫米）大于右冠状动脉（0.7毫米 - 1.2毫米，平均0.9毫米）。左冠状动脉平均长度为4.3毫米（1.8毫米 - 6.5毫米），通常（82%）通过分叉终止为前室间支和旋支，较少见（18%）通过三分叉形成另一个分支：左缘支。前室间支的外径（0.9毫米 - 1.7毫米，平均1.3毫米）大于旋支（0.7毫米 - 1.7毫米，平均1.1毫米）。最常见（73%）的情况是它可沿心脏膈面追踪。旋支通常（73%）作为后室间支终止，较少见（9%）作为右后室支之一终止。45%的病例观察到右冠状动脉为长型。在54%的检查心脏中发现左冠状动脉分支上存在心肌桥。食蟹猴心外膜下网络与人类相应网络的高度相似性表明，食蟹猴是心血管系统功能研究的合适实验动物。
