This study was perfonned to investigate the macroenatomy of the heart and coronary arteries in the domestic
cat and White New Zealand Rabbit. Adult twelve females and eighteen maJes of either species were used in this study.
Latex injection and corrosiorl cast methods were applied 10 the materials. It was found that the heart lied between the second and fourth ribs in the rabbit. and the fourth and seventh ribs in lho cal. The left coronary artery was stronger than the right coronary artery in both rabbit and cat. The left coronary artery gave off the septal. left marginal ventricular and left posterior ventricular branches in the rabbit. It gave off the paraconal interventricular and left circumflex bt'anches in the cat. The right coronary artery was found to be constituted only by the right circumflex branch in both species. The conal branch, which arised from the right coronary artery, directly arised lrom the aorta in two cats and one rabbit. It was observed that the subsinuosal interventricular branch was formed by the right circumflex branch in four cats.
