Summary Data on the distribution and variation of the abdominal arteries in the wood mouse, Apodemus sylvaticus, are given. Seventy specimens (44 males and 26 females) caught in the field were analyzed by injection of green latex solution and dissection. The general branching pattern of the aorta abdominalis is similar to those described in other rodents. There are certain differences, however, especially in the branching of the coeliac trunk, the origin of the genital arteries and the arrangement of the caudal mesenteric artery. Significant variability was detected in the distribution of the iliolumbar arteries about the testicular and ovaric arteries. Based on the observations and measurements carried out, some branching patterns of the aorta abdominalis are presented.
