However, in morphological terms, donkeys and horses are regarded as two separate subgenus. Given variations in the branching pattern of the brachiocephalic trunk (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">BCT<\/jats:styled-content>) in different species of animals and the use of donkeys in anatomy courses at colleges of veterinary medicine, we conducted this study in order to investigate the branching patterns of <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">BCT<\/jats:styled-content> and to describe detailed morphological information regarding donkeys. Seventeen mature donkeys were examined following euthanasia by exsanguination from the common carotid artery under general anaesthesia. Thirteen donkeys were embalmed and injected with coloured latex from <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">BCT<\/jats:styled-content> origin for better visualization of vessels. Four other donkeys were freshly studied without the embalming procedure. In all cases, the <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">BCT<\/jats:styled-content> was the only branch of the aortic arch and branched into the left subclavian (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">LS<\/jats:styled-content>b) artery, the right costocervical trunk, the right subclavian (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">RS<\/jats:styled-content>b) artery and the bicarotid trunk. The main branching pattern of the <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">RS<\/jats:styled-content>b was the costocervical trunk, the vertebral artery, the internal thoracic artery and the superficial cervical artery. The deep cervical artery branched from the costocervical trunk. The major branching pattern of the <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">LS<\/jats:styled-content>b was the vertebral artery, the internal thoracic artery and the superficial cervical artery. In donkeys, the external thoracic artery branches from the internal thoracic artery. Results obtained from this study indicate that <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">BCT<\/jats:styled-content> branching in donkeys has some similarities and differences as compared to that in horses and in the Caspian miniature horse.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/ahe.12277","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,26]],"date-time":"2017-05-26T06:42:45Z","timestamp":1495780965000},"page":"359-364","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["The Branching Pattern of the Brachiocephalic Trunk in the Donkey (<i>Equus asinus<\/i>)"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"G.","family":"Akbari","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Basic Sciences Faculty of Veterinary Medicine University of Tabriz Tabriz Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"B.","family":"Asadiahranjani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Veterinary Anatomy and Embryology Faculty of Veterinary Medicine University of Tehran Tehran Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"N.","family":"Goodarzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Basic and Pathobiological sciences Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Razi University Kermanshah Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Shokrollahi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine University of Tabriz Tabriz Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1292\/jvms.70.1051"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000144175"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ar.1090190305"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","first-page":"149","article-title":"Patterns of the aortic arch in a series of 133 macaques","volume":"70","author":"De Garis C.
