Abstract
The aim of the study was to describe rabbit’s kidney arteries and veins. Research was carried out on 40 New Zealand White Rabbits. The corrosion cast of the arterial and venous system was prepared by using Spofacryl. In 10% of the cases it was observed that the left renal artery was doubled. In one case the presence of an accessory renal artery in the right kidney was recorded. In 10% of the cases it was observed that the left renal vein was doubled. In 5% of the cases two left renal veins arose from the kidney and subsequently united to form a single vein about 1cm from the opening to the caudal vena cava. In 5% of the cases two left renal veins arose from the kidney and subsequently they united 1 cm away from the renal hilus. The anatomical knowledge of the renal arteries, veins and its variations are of importance in the experimental field.
