Morphology and Vascularization of the Gastric Compartments in Three-Toed Sloth (Bradypus torquatus Illiger, 1811)

The macroscopic anatomy and vascularization of the stomach compartments of Bradypus torquatus were examined in five animals from the University of São Paulo College of Veterinary Medicine and Zootechny collection. The method included aqueous perfusion of the arterial network, colored latex injection...
