    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Anatomy
    • Cardiovascular Physiology
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Pulmonary circulation requires detailed understanding of vascular architecture.
    • Previous studies lacked comprehensive morphometric data for feline pulmonary venous systems.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present detailed morphometric data of the cat right lung's pulmonary veins.
    • To characterize the branching patterns and ratios of the feline pulmonary venous tree.

    Main Methods:

    • Silicone elastomer casting of five cat right lungs.
    • Measurement, counting, and analysis of vascular casts.
    • Application of the Strahler system for vascular tree description.

    Main Results:

    • Vessel orders ranged from 9 to 11 across different lobes of the right lung.
    • Average branching ratio: 3.521.
    • Average diameter ratio: 1.727.
    • Average length ratios: 2.402 (orders 1-3) and 1.532 (orders 4-10).

    Conclusions:

    • Established quantitative morphometric data for feline pulmonary veins.
    • Provided essential parameters for physicomathematical modeling of pulmonary circulation.
    • Characterized the branching complexity of the feline pulmonary venous tree.
