In a lateral view of the abdo- men, Fig. 182, some of the parts of the Omentum and Me- sentery may be seen. At 4 is seen what is known as the lesser Omentum, connecting the Liver and the Stomach. At 5 and 6 are seen the folds which constitute the greater Omentum. At 10 is found the Mesentery, which encircles the small intestines. This is a broad fold of the Peritoneum connected to the middle of the cylinder of the Jejunum and Ileum through their whole length, and is attached to the posterior wall of the abdomen. Within the layers of the Me- sentery are found from 130 to 150 bodies of almond shape and size, known as the Mesenteric Glands. Through these the Lacteals pass on their way to form the Thoracic Duct. 308. Lacteals*—The Lacteals are minute vessels, which commence with the inner or mucous coat of the intestines, Fig. 183.
