The muscular coat of the small intes-tine is composed of circular and longitu-dinal fibres; and the outer coat is formedby the prolongation of the peritoneum,which, after having surrounded the intes-tines, completes the mesentery, by whichthe gut floats, as it were, in the abdominalcavity. The large intestine terminates the intes-tinal canal. It is much shorter than thesmall, and considerably more capacious,being manifestly intended, in part, as a re-servoir. It is less loose in the abdominalcavity than the portion of the tube whichwe have described. It commences at the right iliac fossa (Fig. 2); Fig. o h Side View of Intestinal MucousMembrane of a Cat. a. A Peyers gland, imbedded in sub-mucous tissue,/, h. A tubular Fossa in mucous membrane, d.
