Anatomical studies of the coronary system in elasmobranchs: I. Coronary arteries in lamnoid sharks
Abstract A study of the anatomy of coronary arteries has been done in five shark species of the order Lamniformes: Isurus oxyrinchus, Isurus paucus, Lamna nasus, Alopias superciliosus , and Alopias vulpinus . The study, which included 26 specimens, was carried out with the injection‐corrosion techni...
