ANATOMICAL TECBKOLOOT. 



From tlie relations of the two parts, they are called respectively the 

 gastro-splenic and the duodenal parts of the pancreas (Owen, A, 

 III, 495). The organ is wholly enveloped by peritoneum, thus dif- 

 fering from the human, which is covered by peritoneum o'nly on its 

 ventral surface. 



In order to expose the pancreas fully, the ventral wall of the 

 great omentum should be removed, and the large and small intes- 

 tines should be drawn caudad.

Like the human pancreas, that of the cat has two ducts — Ductus 

 Wirsungianus and Ductus Santorini — which open separately into 

 the intestine, although they anastomose in the substance of the 

 pancreas (Fig. 81-83).
