Rete Mirabile Ophthalmicum and Intercarotid Anastomosis in Procellariiformes Taken off the North Carolina Coast
Abstract:
This study examined thermal stress among eleven species of Procellariiform seabirds taken off the North Carolina coast. All species possessed well-developed rete mirabile ophthalmicums and intercarotid anastomoses, both playing a role in regulating blood flow and brain temperatures during heat stress.
