Abstract

The biliary tree of armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus e Euphractus sexcinctus), from the Pantanal Matogrossense, Brazil, was studied after latex injection, formaldehyde fixation and dissection. The ductus choledocus, in both species, results from the junction of the ductus hepaticus and the ductus cysticus. The ductus hepaticus is made up by the convergence of the ramus principalis dexter and the ramus principalis sinister, in turn formed by branches of hepatic lobes.
