N2 - The aim of this study was to investigate the morphology of the coronary arteries of the goat’s heart. The study was carried out on 36 hearts of adult females dairy goats, belonging to two breeds, aged 7–12 years, with an average body weight of 37 kg. A distinct view of coronary arteries and their branches was obtained by filling them with dyed synthetic latex (LBS 3060) or Batson’s No. 17. In all studied goats the common trunk of the left coronary artery was divided into the interventricular paraconal branch and the circumflex branch. The branch of the interventricular septum originated in the interventricular paraconal branch. In 25 individuals (69%) the circumflex branch ended with small ramifications on the atrial surface of the heart. In 11 individuals (31%), the vessel extended in the subsinuosal interventricular groove into the subsinuosal interventricular branch. The right coronary artery was less developed than the left coronary artery. In 35 individuals (97%) the right coronary artery ended with small ramifications on the atrial surface of the heart. In one goat (3%) the vessel reached the subsinuosal interventricular groove and extended into the subsinuosal interventricular branch.
