Comparative Animal Anatomy Studies

A total of 15 adult female and male red-eared turtles of the species Trachemys scripta elegans (Wied, 1838) were used in this study. The animals were preserved in 5% formaldehyde for anatomical and topographical analysis of the liver and its vessels were injected with neoprene latex and vinyl acetate to evidence the hepatic portal system and its branches. The hepatic portal vein drains (100% of cases) and presents two points of penetration into the liver visceral surface, one near the gallbladder (right) and the other establishing between them the transverse hepatic portal vein (left). It receives (from left to right) the gastric and cranial pancreaticoduodenal veins and the union of the jejunal veins. This union receives a variable number of branches from the jejunal, splenic, and cranial and caudal mesenteric veins.
