Bu araştırma, Van kedilerinde ön kolun arterial beslenmesi makroanatomik olarak incelendi. Araştırmada değişik yaş ve cinsiyette altı adet Van kedisi materyal olarak kullanıldı. Araştırma amacıyla aorta abdominalis ' ten latex enjeksiyonundan yararlanıldı.On kolun arterial donanımı a. axillaris ve dalları tarafından sağlanır.A.subscapularis, omuz ekleminin flexor kısmında a. axillaris'ten orijin alır ve caudodorsal olarak ta a. thoracodorsalis'i verir. A.brachialis, a. axillaris'in devamıdır. For supracondyiaris'i geçtikten sonra a. transversa cubiti'yi, a. inlerosseous cranialis'i ve a. ulnaris ile a. interosseous caudalis'e ail ortak kökü verdikten sonra a.nıediana olarak devam eder.A.collateralis ulnaris, for.supracondylaris'in proximal'inde a. brachialis'i terk eder.A.reccurens ulnaris. a. brachialis'den orijin alır. Proximal ve distal iki dala ayrılır. Proximal dal a. collaterals ularıs ile anastomose olur. A.interosseous commımis yoktur A.ulnaris, carpus'un dorsolateral yüzü üzerinde a.antebrachii superficialis cranialis ile birlikte amis dorsalis superficialis'in oluşumuna katılır.Literatür verileriyle karşılaştırıldığında Van kedilerinde çok önemli bir farklılığın olmadığı görülmüştür.

For this purpose, the arterial supply of thoracic limb of Van cat was studied. For research, six Van cats with different age and sex were used. Latex wax injected through abdominal aortae. The following was determinated: The arterial supply of thoracic limb was furnished by the axillary artery in Van cat.The subscapitlary artery leaves the axillar arterv in flexor region of the shoulder joint. It gives rise caudodorsally to the thoracodorsal artery. The brachial artery, is continuation of the axillar artery distal to the shoulder joint. It course to the elbow joint and traverses the siipracondylar foramen. After giving off transversal citbili artery, interosseous cranial artery and a common trunk belong to caudal interosseus artery with ulnar artery . After it courses as median artery.The collarleral ulnar artery leaves the brachial artery proximal to the supracondylar foramen.The recourent ulnar artery arises from the brachial artery and it divides proximal and distal two branches. The proximal branches courses to anastomose with the collateral ulnar artery.The interosseous common artery is absent.The ulnar artery, on the dorsolaleral aspect of the carpus, anastomoses with the cranial superficial antebrachial artery, constituting the superficial dorsal arch. The profund palmar arch is formed by the deep palmar branch of the palmar carpal branch of the ulnar artery and the palmar carpal branch of radial artery. The profund palmar arch do not receive any branch from the median artery.The dorsal superficial arch is formed by the dorsal carpal branch branch of the ulnar artery and the dorsal carpal branch of the cranial superficial antebrachi arterv.The superficial palmar arch is formed by the superficial palmar branch of the ulnar artery and median artery. It was observed that the thoracal limb and terminal branches do not have important differences in Van cat when compared with the literary data. However, significant differences have been found among indivudial species.
