large nerve entering the abdomen alongside the gullet and spreading 

 out into a number of fine branches on the surface of the stomach. 



124. The coeliac and mesenteric arteries (Fig. 32, cce, m), entering 

 the abdomen above and to the right of the gullet : the former goes 

 almost exclusively to the pyloric caeca : the mesenteric artery supplies 

 the stomach (^), intestines (/'), spleen (spl), and rete mirabile (x). 



125. The two hepatic veins (Fig. 32, hp} proceeding, one on each 

 side, from the anterior border of the liver, through the pericardio-peri- 

 toneal septum to the sinus venosus. 



126. The spermatic vein (Fig. 32, sp.v) bringing blood from the 

 ovary or testis, from the anterior end of which it passes directly forwards 

 to join the precaval vein ( 141) : the spermatic artery (sp.a) arises 

 from one of the gastric branches of the mesenteric.

 membrane forming a constriction between the stomach and 

 intestine. 



129. The aperture of the bile-duct (Fig. 31, x) in the 

 duodenum, near the pyloric valve : a bristle should be 

 passed from it into the duct. 



130. The three or four openings of the pyloric caeca 

 (Fig. 31, below x\ situated in the duodenum between the 

 pylorus and the bilary aperture. 



XXIV. Make out the following points in the repro- 

 ductive organs, still left in situ : 



In the Male. 



131. The testes, two elongated bodies, each consisting 

 of a straight tubular axis, the vas deferens, with a soft

 length from the posterior end, the two testes unite with
