Tutorial title - Arteries of the udder

3 important questions on Tutorial title - Arteries of the udder

What vessels supply the udder in the cow?

1. External iliac artery: superficialcaudal epigastric artery and vein, from deep femoral/pudendoepigastric trunk
2. Internal iliac artery: internal pudendal artery and vein, ventral perineal artery and vein.

What vessel allows the udder to descend?

The external pudendal vessels from the femoral artery has a sigmoid flexure that straightens but doesn't stretch.

What happens to the superficial epigastric veins during the maturation of a cow?

The cranial and caudal superficial epigastric veins will anastamose as the valves are no longer unidirectional. This makes the milk vein larger.
