(The left lohe of the liver, the largest part of the stomach, the small intestines and the colon 

 transversum have been removed; the peritonaeum has been, in large extent, dissected off.) 



bb) A. hepatica propria ascends between the layers of the lig. hepatoduodenale, to the left 

 of tlie ductus choledochus and in front of the v. portae (see Fig. 497), to the porta 

 hepatis and there divides into a ramus dexter (0. T. right terminal branch) to the 

 right half and a ramus sinister (0. T. left terminal branch) to the left half of the 

 liver (see also Fig. 581). The former gives off the a. cystica to the gall bladder, 

 be) A. gastroduodenalis (gastroduodenal artery) runs downward to the left of and behind 

 the pars superior duodeni and divides into two branches : 



) A. pancreaticoduodenalis superior extends downward and to the left on the concave 

 side of the pars descendens and pars inferior duodeni, between it and the caput 

 pancreatis, unites with the a. pancreaticoduodenalis inferior and supplies, with its 

 rami pancreatici, the caput i)ancreatis, and with its rami duodenalcs, the duodenum. 

 /?) A. f/astroepiploica dextra (right gastroepiploic artery) arrives at the lower sur- 

 face of the pars superior (hiodeni between the two anterior layers of the omentum 

 majus, runs to tlie left along the curvatura major of the stomach and unites with 

 the a. gastroepi])loica sinistra. It gives branches to the anterior and posterior 

 walls of the stomach, as well as rami epiploici to the great omentum, 

 c) A. lienalis (0. T. splenic arter\) bends to the left and extends to the left at the upper 

 margin of the pancreas or behind it, as well as behind the bursa omentalis, in front 

 of the left adrenal and kidney, in a tortuous course to the hilus of the spleen.
