Abdomen, illustration
Abdominal viscera displayed after reflection of the liver. Uppermost is the cut diaphragm and the peritoneum with suspensory ligaments (blue) of the liver which has left and right lobes. Below the gall bladder (green) is the common bile duct (green), portal vein (blue) and hepatic artery (red). To the left the cut stomach leads to the duodenum into which the pancreatic duct (white) drains. The spleen and its vessels are located to the right of the tail of the pancreas. Vessels in the abdomen are the superior mesenteric artery (red) and vein (blue), below which is the flat sheet of mesentery (blue) attached to the loops of small bowel (jejunum).
