The origin and location of the arteries of the vomeronasal organ (VNO) in the sheep were studied by means of dissection, scanning electron microscopy of corrosion casts, and the cutting-grinding technique after injection with Araldite CY23-HY2967 via one of the carotid arteries. Dissection revealed that the most ventral of the three main branches of the sphenopalatine artery is responsible for the blood supply to the VNO. Scanning electron microscopy of corrosion casts revealed that the arterioles of the vomeronasal organ form a microvascular network. Cross sections of the region of the nasal cavity containing the VNO, obtained by the cutting-grinding technique, showed that the arterioles of the vomeronasal plexus are located medial and ventral to the vomeronasal duct. These results confirm the usefulness of the cutting-grinding technique as a complementary procedure in morphological studies of structures containing hard tissues.
通过解剖、铸型扫描电子显微镜以及经颈动脉之一注入Araldite CY23-HY2967后的切割研磨技术，对绵羊犁鼻器（VNO）动脉的起源和位置进行了研究。解剖显示，蝶腭动脉三个主要分支中最腹侧的分支负责为犁鼻器供血。铸型扫描电子显微镜显示，犁鼻器的小动脉形成微血管网络。采用切割研磨技术获得的含有犁鼻器的鼻腔区域横断面显示，犁鼻丛的小动脉位于犁鼻管的内侧和腹侧。这些结果证实了切割研磨技术作为含有硬组织结构形态学研究中一种补充方法的实用性。
