THE VESSELS. 351 



partly, to the great, partly to the lesser curvature, to the gl. lienales and gl. 

 pyloricee. 



4. Spleen and Pancreas, a. Lymphatic glands. 



1. GL lienales are placed in the hilus of the spleen. 



2. Gl. pancreatica, at the superior border of the pancreas along the art. 

 splenica. 



b. Lymphatics. Those of the spleen are said to carry a red lymph (Hew- 

 son) ; the superficial come from the covering, the deep from the Parenchyma ; 

 they form a plexus in the hilus, and pass, with the lymphatics of the pancreas, 

 along the art . lienalis to the gl. codiacce. 



5. Of the liver, a. Lymphatic glands. 



1. Gl. hepaticcB, small glands, in the porta, they pass into the 



2. Gl. cceliacce (sixteen to twenty), which are placed round about the tripus 

 Halleri, receive the lymphatics of the superior organs of digestion, and 

 assist in forming the lateral roots of the ductus thoracicus. 



b. Lymphatics. Those upon the superior surface of the liver pass partly 

 forwards through the diaphragm behind the proc. ensiformis to the gl. medi- 

 astincB anticos (others to the smaller curvature of the stomach), partly from 

 before to the posterior border ; on the inferior surface of the liver they pass 

 from before, backwards : those which pass to the right of the gall-bladder, to 

 the gl. lumbales ; those which lie to the left, to the gland, cardiacce ; those 

 which surround the gall-bladder in a plexus, to the gl. hepaticce and cceliacce. 

 The deep lymphatics pass out on the ductus hepaticus, and the Ven. portos in- 

 side the capsula Glissonii, and proceed to the same glands. 



605. IV. Lymphatics and Lymphatic glands of the superior 

 half of the body. 



1. Of the superior extremity, a. Lymphatic glands. 



1. Gl. cubitales, two to three superficial in the bend of the elbow, three to 

 four deep at the same place above condyl. internus, behind v. basilica. 



2. Gl. brachiales, five to seven small glands along the art. brachialis. 



3. Gl. axillares, ten to twelve in the axilla, and round about art. axillar., 

 connected by means of a. plexus axillaris ; they receive the lymphatics of 

 the superior extremities and thoracic parietes, and pass with four to five 

 vasa efferentia into the plexus subclavius, and thence into the truncus 

 communis. 



b. Lymphatics. The superficial pass with vv. cephalica and basilica, the 

 deep with the arteries ; both terminate in the gl. axillaris. 



2. Of the external walls of the thorax. The lymphatics of the anterior 

 and lateral parietes ascend over m. pectoralis and serratus major to the 

 gl. axillares ; those of the posterior walls upwards and downwards (under 

 the tendon of m. longis. dorsi), to the same. 



3. Of the internal thoracic parietes. a. Lymphatic glands. 



1. Gl. intercostales (sixteen to twenty) ; they are small, and lie close to the 

 dorsal vertebrae on the anterior surface of the heads of the ribs ; some
