. Cunningham's Text-book of anatomy. Anatomy. THE LIVEE. 1197 bearing its name, to be connected with the inferior vena cava as it leaves the liver. In the foetus this structure is a considerable vessel, which conveys some of the blood brought to the porta hepatis by the left umbilical vein directly backwards to the vena cava. At the time of birth the ductus venosus and umbilical vein cease to carry blood, their cavities become obliterated, and they are converted into fibrous cords. (7) The omentum minus is a fold of peritoneum which extends from the liver to the lesser curvature of the stomach to the duodenum. It is attached above to the margins of the porta hepatis, and also to the bottom of the fossa of the ductus venosus. Below, it is connected to the lesser curvature of the stomach, where its two layers separate to enclose that organ, and also to the upper border of the duodenum for an inch or more beyond the pylorus. Between its layers, close to its right or free border, are contained the bile duct, the hepatic artery, the portal vein, and the nerves and lymph vessels passing to and from the porta hepatis (Fig. 939). Its central part is wide, but it is narrow at each end. Of the two ends, the right is free, and 7th costal cartilage Xiphoid process 7th costal cartilage.
