A system of human anatomy, general and special . extremity of the splenic artery and its terminal branches,between the layers of the gastro-splenic omentum, to the great end ofthe stomach, to which they are distributed, inosculating with branchesof the gastric artery and gastro-epiploica sinistra. The Gastro-epiploica sinistra appears to be the continuation of thesplenic artery; it passes forwards from left to right, along the greatcurve of the stomach, lying between the layers of the great omentum,and inosculates with the gastro-epiploica dextra. It is distributed tothe greater curve of the stomach and to the great omentum. The Superior Mesenteric Artery, the second of the single trunks,and next in size to the cceliac axis, arises from the aorta immediatelybelow that vessel, and behind the pancreas. It passes forwards be-tween the pancreas and transverse duodenum, and descends withinthe layers of the mesentery, to the right iliac fossa, where it terminatesvery much diminished in size. It forms a curve in its course, the Fig. 150.*. * The course and distribution of the superior mesenteric artery. 1. The descending-portion of the duodenum. 2. The transverse portion. 3.
