| Abstract: | The anatomy of the auricular conchae of ruminants has been studied by intravascular injection of radiopaque latex, by dissection and by histological sectioning. Drawings were made of the vascular network. The arrangement of nerves and blood vessels in association with the ridges on the rostral (concave) surface was observed. The spaces between the ridges are relatively free of larger blood vessels, nerves, hair and sebaceous glands. This distribution is discussed in relation to the insertion of ear tags. |
