Great Mesenteric oe An- terior Mesaeaio Vein (Fig. 293, 44; 294, 2, 7).âThis is an enormous venous canal into which flows the blood that has passed through the walls of the small intestine, cseoum, large colon, and the origin of the small colon, and whose divisions correspond exactly to the different branches fur- nished by the great mesenteric artery. When traced from its opening to its origin, in an inverse direction to the course of the blood, it is observed to lie between the two colic arteries, and proceed beyond the fold formed THE VENA poBT^ AND ITS ROOTS; PARTLY by the Suprasternal and diaphragmatic THEOEETioAL. curvatuTes, beyond which it divides 1, Trunk of the vena portse; 2, Its origin; j^^^ ^^^ satellite branches for the 3, Veins of the small intestine; 4, Ilio- â ,. , . v- t, i. ââ ;â ' â¢""°.'"
