PLATE LXYII. 

 THE THIRD VIEW OF THE ABDOMINAL VISCERA. 



In this plate the transverse colon has been cut away lietwrc-n the hepatic and 

 splenic flexures. The stomach has been drawn forward to the thoracic wall, exposing its 

 posterior surface. The small intestine has been removed with the mesentery, which has 

 been cut short, and its anterior layer removed to expose the remains of the superior 

 mesenteric vessels. Part of the posterior wall of the abdomen has been denuded of 



peritoneum, to expose the aorta and inferior mesenteric vessels. The posterior layer of 

 the lesser sac has also been reflected off the posterior wall of the abdomen to expose 

 more of the body of the pancreas. 



The accompanying diagrams were copied from Professor Cunningham's paper ' on 

 the abdomen, to illustrate the varying relations of the duodenum and kidney due to 

 the alteration in height of the latter. 



' On reference t.> 1'mf. -sr Cunningham's Manual of Practical Atiatomy \ find the diagram* wer 

 drawn by Dr. St. John Brook*.
