 muscles of the back and of the posterior wall of the abdomen. 



The efferents of the lumbar glands form two common lumbar lymph trunks, 

 which pass to the cisterna chyli. 



THE LYMPH VESSELS OF THE ABDOMINAL VISCERA AND THE 

 SUPERIOR AND POSTERIOR WALLS OF THE ABDOMEN. 



The Lymph Vessels of the Abdominal Part of the Alimentary Canal. The lymph 

 vessels in the walls of the alimentary canal form four plexuses : (1) a mucous plexus, in the 

 mucous membrane, (2) a submucous plexus, in the submucous tissue, (3) a muscular plexus, 

 between the two muscle coats, (4) a subserous plexus which lies in the areolar tissue between 

 the peritoneal covering and the outer muscular coat. The four plexuses communicate freely 

 with each other. The lymph is eventually collected from the subserous plexus and carried to 

 the various groups of lymph glands. The vessels which carry away the lymph from the sub-
