The afferent branchial arteries of Scoliodon, also known as dogfish sharks, are crucial vessels responsible for transporting deoxygenated blood from the ventral aorta to the gill lamellae. This intricate network facilitates vital oxygen exchange, playing a fundamental role in the unique circulatory system adapted for aquatic respiration in cartilaginous fish.
