Vascular corrosion casts of polyester resin in the normal spinal cord at C4-C6 and C7-T1 were inspected three-dimensionally by scanning electron microscopy in 13 rats. Arteries and veins were easily differentiated by the impression pattern of endothelial nuclei on the casts. The centrifugal arterial system from the sulcal arteries supplied most of the gray and white matter in the ventral and lateral spinal cord. Each sulcal artery supplied only one side of the cord. The average number of sulcal arteries was 2.6 per mm. The centripetal arterial system from the posterior spinal arteries fed the posterior gray and white matter. In contrast with classical concepts, there was no pial arterial plexus on the ventral and ventrolateral surface except for infrequent transverse branches from the anterior spinal artery. In the posterior columns, two types of large veins were identified: the posterior medial septal veins and the posterior oblique veins that drained the posterior columns, medial posterior gray matter, and posterior gray commissure. The remainder of the gray and white matter was drained by the sulcal veins and the radial veins. This method clearly demonstrates the three-dimensional structure of both the arterial and venous system in the rat spinal cord.
