Abstract
In 6 adult camels (Camelus dromedarius) the uterus had 2 arteries on each side; one was the cranial uterine artery, which was a branch from the ovarian artery, and the other was the caudal uterine artery, which originated from the urogenital (vaginal) artery. There was no middle uterine artery, as is found in ruminants. The ovarian artery originated directly from the aorta and divided into 3 branches (ovarian proper, uterine and oviduct arteries) at a point approximately 5 cm before the ovary. The main drainage consisted of the utero-ovarian and caudal uterine veins. Although interconnections between arteries as well as between veins were numerous, no true veno-arterial anastomoses were found. These anatomical findings would suggest that there may be local unilateral uterine control of ovarian function in the camel.
