Unpublished paper, 'The development and morphology of the vascular system in mammals. The posterior end of the aorta and the iliac arteris' by Alfred H Young and Arthur Robinson

Reference number: AP/73/13

Date: 1898

Description

The authors write: 'It is assumed, without, we venture to think, sufficient reason, that the caudal artery (middle sacral in man) represents the true continuation of the aorta, and that it is formed by the fusion of the posterior ends of the two primitive dorsal aortae. If this is so, the iliac arteries do not represent any part of the primitive aorta and they must be regarded as secondary or segmental branches only.' They communicate their observations on the development of the caudal end of the aorta, the middle sacral artery and the iliac vessels and some of their branches.

Annotations in ink throughout.
