Rat Heart Anatomical Photo Atlas
LCA AND LAD DISSECTION:
LAD Branching Variations - Left Side View
[Back] [Atlas Menu] [Next]
NOTE: For this atlas, the LAD is defined as the large artery at the first major branch point (dotted line) of the LCA that descends down the outer left ventricular wall. However, if there is a septal branch originating from the LCA (see next page), then that branch point is not considered the first major branch point.
