Blood vascular system of domestic duck head

3D Model

Head blood vessels of a domestic duck (Anas platyrhynchos, OUVC 9454) based on injecting the vessels of a cadaveric duck with an injection medium consisting of barium and latex. This injection was performed by Jayc C. Sedlmayr, PhD, in about 2000 as part of his 2002 doctoral dissertation research (https://bit.ly/3o2Rm5e). Specimens like this one were used in a 2002 publication by Sedlmayr & Witmer: https://bit.ly/3uMCkEz. The specimen was scanned at the OUµCT in June 2022 by Ryan Ridgely & Lawrence Witmer, and the scan data are freely available on MorphoSource: https://www.morphosource.org/concern/media/000450088.
