Since it is critical to understand the anatomy of the coronary arteries and the
anastomoses between them in Akkaraman sheep, the coronary arteries will be examined
using a plastic injection and corrosion technique. In our investigation, researchers used
20 Akkaraman sheep's hearts collected from slaughterhouses in and near Kayseri, and
hearts from animals aged 2-3 years were included. The anatomy of the coronary arteries
of the hearts was studied by plastic injection and corrosion method. The
macroscopically examined patterns of the excised coronary arteries were photographed
and recorded. This approach indicated arterial vascularization of the heart in sheep, with
a. coronaria dextra and a. coronaria sinistra developing from the commencement of the
aorta. It was determined that a. coronaria sinistra, after leaving the initial part of the
aorta, proceeds to the left and divides into two branches called r. interventricularis
paraconalis and r. circumflexus sinister, forming a right angle between them,
immediately after reaching the sulcus coronarius. Anastomosis of the branches of r.
distalis atrii dextri with the branches of r. intermedius atrii dextri and r. ventriculi dextri;
anastomosis of a thin branch separated from r. proximalis atrii sinistri with the branch of
r. proximalis atrii dextri running in the initial part of the aorta; anastomosis of r. distalis
atrii sinistri with r. intermedius atrii sinistri were detected. In one heart, the r. septalis
protruded roughly 0.2 cm from the beginning of a. coronaria sinistra.
