PEKITONEUM. 1235 Liver Epiploic foramen Stomacl Omental bursa Pancreas Duodenum, transverse part - Transverse colon apex bladder below, where it usually becomes much stouter. Lateral to the urachus, and some distance from it (Fig. 965), will be found, in the same fatty tissue, (b) two stouter fibrous cords, the obliterated arteriEe umbilicales ( ob- literated hypogastric arteries), forming the plica umbilicalis lateralis dextra and sinistra. Traced upwards, these also become more slender, and approach the urachus, along with which they are connected tO the Umbilicus. Below, Lesser omentum they grow thicker, and can be followed backwards along the side wall of the pelvis to the hypogastric arteries, which they join, (c) More laterally still, the inferior epigastric arteries are seen running up- wards and medially from the external iliac trunk on each side. When the anterior ab- dominal wall is examined from behind, it will be seen that these five structures, which lie on the front of the peritoneum, carry that mem- brane inwards towards the abdominal cavity in the form of five more or less distinct ridges, known as the plica umbilicalis media, plicae um- bilicales laterales, and plicae epigastricae, respectively. In fig. relation to these are found on each side three peritoneal fosste, known as the foveae in- guinales ( inguinal pouches or fossae)..

The great sac of the peritoneum is blue and is represented as being much larger than in nature ; the bursa omentalis is coloured red; the peritoneum in section is shown as a white line : and a white arrow is passed through the epiploic foramen from the great sac into the bursa omentalis. The fovea lngumalis lateralis lies lateral to the inferior epigastric artery, and corresponds to the position of the a
