Anatomy of Blood Vessels

The video tutorial explores the anatomy of a cat's abdominal cavity, focusing on the aorta and its branches. It covers the celiac artery and its branches to the liver, stomach, and spleen. The superior mesenteric artery's role in supplying the intestines and the renal artery's function are discussed. The tutorial also examines the iliac arteries and veins, highlighting differences in cat anatomy. The femoral and popliteal arteries are explored, followed by a discussion on veins and the inferior vena cava, emphasizing the relationship between arteries and veins.
