Summary In this study, arteries that supply the septum interventriculare in donkeys, their course and variations, if present, were defined. Six hearts belonging to donkeys of varying age and sex constituted the material of the study. In order to expose the arteries, latex coloured with Rotring ink was injected into a. coronaria sinistra and a. coronaria dextra and dissection was performed. The arterial vascularization of the heart in donkeys is supplied by a. coronaria sinistra and a. coronoria dextra, which have their origin at the aorta. A. coronaria sinistra gives off two branches: one is ramus interventricularis paraconalis, which extends into the sulcus interventricularis paraconalis and the other is ramus circumflexus sinister, which lies within the sulcus coronarius. A. coronaria dextra is formed by the union of ramus interventricularis subsinuosus and ramus circumflexus dexter. Septum interventriculare is supplied by rr. septales, which originate from ramus interventricularis paraconalis, a branch of a. coronaria sinistra, as well as rami septales which have their origin in ramus interventricularis subsinuosus, a branch of a. coronaria dextra.
