ANATOMICAL TECHNOLOGY. 



From the relations of tlie 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 hnman, which is covered by peritoneum only 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 — Btichis 

 Wirsungianus and Ductus Santorini — which open separately into 

 the intestine, although they anastomose in the substance of the 

 pancreas (Pig. 81-83).
