Haemal arch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A haemal arch is a bony arch on the underside of a tail vertebra of a vertebrate. It may represent the ribs of that tail vertebra.
The hole so formed is the haemal canal.
It sometimes has a haemal spine on.
The blood vessels to and from the tail run through the arch.
