ARTERIES. 31 



running from right to left ; gas'tro-duodena'lis that supplies 

 greater curve of stomach (gas'tro-epiplo'ica dex'tra, which 

 inosc. with gas'tro-epiplo'ica sin'istra of splenic), pancreas and 

 duode'num (pancreat'ico-duodena'lis, which inosc. with duo- 

 denal branch of superior mesenteric); cys'tica, small branch 

 to gall bladder. SPLEN'ICA, horizontally left to spleen \pan- 

 creat'icce (mag'na and par'vce) small branches to pancreas ; 

 va'sa bre'via, 5 to 7 small branches to cardiac end of stomach ; 

 gas'tro-epiplo'ica sin'istra, around greater curve stomach from 

 left to right, anas, gas'tro-epiplo'ica dex'tra. Supra-rena'leS ; 

 obliquely up- and outwards to supra-renal capsules. MsSSLtSf'- 

 icasupe'licr : J inch below coelic axis, to the intestines. Infe'- 

 rior pancreat'ico-duodena'lis t up to head pancreas and lower 

 ^ duode'num, anas, with pacreat'ico-duodena'iis of hepatic. 

 Va'sa intesli'na ten'uis, 12 to 15 looping branches to jejunum 

 and ileum. Il'io-col'ica, down right obliquely, to ileum and 

 caecum. Col'ica dex'tra, horizontally to right to ascending 

 colon. CoVica me?dia t up to transverse colon, inosc. colica 

 dextra and colica sinistra. (Free anastomosis of all these ves- 

 sels.) Eenales : sides aorta just below superior mesenteric 

 horizontally outwards to each kidney. Spermat'iC83 : slender 

 vessels supplying testicles, or ovaries. Mesinter'icainfe'rior : left 

 side aorta 2 inches above bifurcation, to sigmoid flexure of 

 colon, and rectum. Col'ica sin'istra, horizontally to left to 

 descending colon. Sigmoide'ce, branches passing obliquely 

 downwards to sigmoid flexure. Hoemorrhoida'lis supe'rior, 

 termination of inferior mesenteric supplying superior part of 

 rectum, anas, with middle haemorrhoidal of internal iliac, and 

 inferior haemorrhoidal of internal pudic. The branches of 

 both mesenteric arteries are in free anastomosis. Luffllia'leS ! 4 

 pairs arising from back aorta, dividing, near transverse pro- 

 cesses into abdominal branches (supplying muscles, and anas. 

 with epigastric, internal mammary, intercostal, ilio-lumbarand 

 circumflex iliac branches) and dorsal branches (supplying 

 back muscles, etc., with a spinal branch to meninges and 

 cord), anas, intercostal. Sa'cra me'diai back of aorta at its 

 bifurcation, down median line to coccyx, there anas, with 

 lateral sacral, supplying adjacent parts. 



ILI'ACaJ COMMU'NES: from bifurcation of aorta, obliquely 

 Out- and downwards to intervertebral substance between 

 sacrum and last lumbar, there dividing into internal and ex- 

 ternal iliac ; each are about 2 inches long. Give small branches 

 to peritoneum, ureters, psoae, etc. The left is the larger. 



ILI'ACA INTEB'NA: (see above); i} inches long, dividing
