The mucous coat contains the gastricfollicles, which are situated perpendicularly, side byside, throughout the entire membrane, giving to it ahoney-comb appearance. Here also are the mucousand peptic glands, secreting the gastric mucous andthe gastric juice, respectively. The arteries supply-ing the stomach are five in number: • The coronariaventriculi, the pyloric, the right and left gastro-epiploic and the vasa brevia. The lymphatics arenumerous, and consist of a deep-seated and a super-ficial set. The nerves supplying this organ, as wehave alreadly seen, are the right and left parvagum, orpneumogastric, and branches from the great sympa- XIFE AND HYGIENE. 167.
