SITUS VISCERUM. 467 



thorac., entering the abdominal cavity between crus med. and 

 intern, diaphragm. 



b. Splanchnicus minor, arises from nine to ten ganglia, 

 perforates the crus medium. Both lie more anterior and in- 

 ternal than the trunk of sympathicus, before the vasa inter- 

 costal.; upon the left side, close to the aorta; upon the right, 

 close to ven. azygos. 



3. Nervus phrenicus, enters the cav. mediastin. antic., on either 

 side behind the outer portion of artic. sterno-clavicularis before art. 

 subcl. and behind v. subcl., on the outer side of art. mammaria in- 

 terna, contiguous to the pericardium ; the right passes more ante- 

 riorly before v. cava super., the left curved around the apex of the 

 heart to the diaphragm. 



724. Abdominal Cavity. 



1. Within the peritoneum (Infra peritoneum}. 



1. Liver, situated in the hypochondr. dextr., extending on the 

 left as far as into epigastrium. The convex surface in the con- 

 cavity of the diaphragm, directed upwards and forwards ; the con- 

 cave surface downwards and backwards. 



Lobulus dexter covers the superior part of the right kidney 

 (ijnpressio renalis), iheflexura coli dcxtra (impressio colica), 

 farther to the left and before the duoden., pylorus, lig. hepatico- 

 renale and duodenale ; foram. Winslowii. 



Lobulus sinister lies upon the small omentum and the 

 cardia ; lob. Spigelii in the curvatura minor. 



Posterior superior border is obtuse, and unites with the dia- 

 phragm. 



Inferior anterior border is acute, and directed downwards. 

 On the inferior surface : Fossa longitudin. dextra with the 

 gall bladder -fandus below, cottum directed towards fossa 

 transv.; passes into ductus cyslicus, which joins with duct, 

 hepaticus, at an acute angle to form the duct, choledoch., 

 which opens into the posterior wall of pars descend, duodeni. 

 At the posterior part lies ven. cava inferior. 



Fossa longitudinal, sinistra with lig. teres (ven. umbilical.) 

 before duct. ven. Arantii behind. 



Fossa transversa presents : v. portce and art. hepat. (ves- 

 sels entering), duct, hepat. (passing out) surrounded by cap- 

 sul. Glissonii, in the lig. hepatico-duodenak. 



a. Ven. porte, and to the right before it art. hepatica. 



b. Ductus hepaticus before v. portce, between art. hepat. 

 (to the left) and duct, cystic, (to the right).
