โฆ Synopsis
The major direct cutaneous vessels identified in the cat include the omocervical, thoracodorsal, deep circumflex iliac, and caudal superficial epigastric arteries. Axial pattern skin flaps based on the thoracodorsal and caudal superficial epigastric arteries have been developed in cats. Rotation of these flaps as islands allows skin coverage to the carpus and metatarsus, respectively. The thoracodorsal and caudal superficial epigastric flaps provide a practical, one-step option in the reconstruction of large skin defects involving the distal extremities of cats.

Background. For oromandibular reconstructions, an osteocutaneous fibula flap provides sufficient bone and pliable skin. Sensory reinnervation could possibly prevent problems in mastication and deglutition. Methods. In this anatomic study, 33 cadaver limbs were microsurgical dissected. We investigat
Models dealing with the development of hair and feather follicles commonly predict that the factors initiating morphogenesis also specify patterns of follicle distribution. The factors have been postulated as chemical or mechanical instabilities which, at certain threshold concentrations, determine
