The aim of this study was to investigate the course and distribution of the celiac artery in the domestic geese and also a trial to extend our knowledge on the geese which had received but little attention in the field of veterinary comparative anatomy .The present work was carried out on twenty apparently healthy domestic geese of different ages and sexes.The birds were anaesthetized by IM injection of 0.5 cc of 2% xylazine HCL(3 mg/kg).Colored gum milk latex (60%) was then in- jected through the descending aorta. The specimens then after, were subjected to fine dissection to demonstrate the origin, course and distribution of the celiac artery. The celiac artery gave off the esophageal artery, dorsal proventricular artery then bifurcated into left and right branches. The former branch gave off; Rr .succi, R. pyloricus, A. proventricularis ventralis and A. gastrica ventralis then continued as A. gastrica sinistra. The right branch detached the; Aa. lienales, A. hepatica dextra, A. ileoce- calis, A. gastroduodenalis, A. pancreatico-duodenalis and A. gastrica dextra.
The glandular stomach (Proventriculus) received its main arterial supply from the dorsal and ventral proventricular arteries. The muscular stomach (ventriculus or gizzard) was supplied by four main vessels; the left, right, ventral and dorsal gastric arteries. The obtained results were photographed, described and discussed with their corresponding features of other authors who performed earlier studies in other avis breeds. The nomenclature used was adopted according to the Nomina Anatomica Avium (1993).
