The aim of this study was to describe the arrangement of the arteries supplying the cervical spinal cord in the rabbit. The cervical region in the rabbit is the experimental model for the study of several types of the spinal cord damage. The study was carried out on 20 adult New Zealand white rabbits. The arterial system of the cervical spinal cord was injected by using Batsons corrosion casting kit No. 17. The presence of branches entering the ventral spinal artery in the cervical region was observed in 46.2 % of the cases on the right side and in 53.8 % of cases on the left side. We found no origin of the dorsal spinal arteries in the area of the formation of the basilar artery. When the two irregular dorsal spinal arteries are present, they are formed only by fusion of the small cranial and caudal branches arising from the dorsal branches. Our results confirm the need for more detailed knowledge of the blood supply in laboratory animals which are frequently used as experimental models.
