Blood circulation Cross

Cross circulation (cruciatus) is the anatomical feature of the location of arteries and veins relative to bone structures. It occurs in many species of domestic animals, and is especially common among cattle under the age of two years. It appears symmetrically on both sides of the lower limb.

In a healthy animal, the circulatory system fully meets the tasks of life support; blood circulates especially intensively in the central system of organs, and more superficially in the limbs. The main purpose of blood circulation is to ensure gas exchange and distribute oxygen to tissues. Blood-depleted tissue fluid saturated with carbon dioxide moves through the veins, and through the arteries it is saturated with oxygen already supplied from the lungs. The anatomical completeness of the system ensures the timely supply of oxygen, minerals and nutrients to vital organs. The blood supply to the extremities may be normal. Sometimes it is broken and then surgical intervention is required. It is necessary to constantly monitor the health of livestock and promptly carry out prevention or treatment in case of complications. If you find problems with blood circulation, you should always contact a specialist. In most cases, disorders are easily treatable and are not irreversible pathological processes.
