Abstract
SUMMARY A description is given of the blood supply to the liver of the turkey, and the anatomy of the bile ducts. The arterial supply consists of right and left hepatic arteries which are derived from different branches of the coeliac artery. The hepatic portal system consists of a large right portal vein from the intestines and spleen and small left portal veins from the gizzard and proventriculus. The right portal vein connects with the renal portal system by the coccygeo-mesenteric and hypogastric veins. The two bile ducts are joined within the substance of the liver. These results are discussed with particular reference to the pathogenesis of histomoniasis.
