Human anatomy, including structure and development and practical considerations . ges by which the spleenon the left and the descending part of the duodenum on the right have come to lieagainst the posterior abdominal wall, is entirely retroperitoneal. The posterior sur-face, with the possible of the end of the tail, which may be surrounded byperitoneum, is attached to the parts behind it by connective tissue. The layers ofperitoneum covering the antero-superior and the inferior surfaces meet to form thetransverse mesocolon, which is attached along the border between these surfaces, andis continued on the right across the head, and may sometimes rise towards the leftonto the antero-superior surface. The gastro-pancreatic fold, made by the , crosses the gland upward from a point a varying distance below the coeliacaxis. Vessels.—The arteries are many small branches derived from the splenic,hepatic, and superior mesenteric. As the splenic runs along the top of the posterior Beitrage zur Geschichte und Anatomic des Pancreas, Basel, i8<) -Modified epithelial cells -Alveolus withordinary cells Section of pancreas, sir 200. THE PANCREAS. i737 surface it sends a series of branches into the upper part of the body and tail. Thehepatic runs alono the top of the front of the head and neck, doing the same. In thegroove between head and neck the gastro-duodenal sends the superior pancreatico-duodenal across the front of the gland, supplying chiefly the head. The superiormesenteric artery, just after its origin, sends from its right the inferior pancreatico-duodenal. This vessel gives off a larger branch running to the right to meet thesujierior pancrcatico-duodenal on the front of the head, and sends a smaller branchto the left along the lower surface. Sometimes the two branches which meet acrossthe head enclose it by a similar anastomosis behind. The veins follow in the mainthe arteries. They are all tributaries of the portal system
