Class-book of physiology : for the use of schools and families : comprising the structure and functions of the organs of man, illustrated by comparative reference to those of inferior animals . ries, the descending aorta gives off several importantbranches ; as the cceliac artery, from which the stomach and liver are supplied ; the renalartery, which goes to the kidneys, and the mesenteric artery, to the intestines; besidesmany other sub-divisious in various parts of its course. The branches of the vena cava generally accompany those of the aorta in their distribu-tion, as shown in the figure, and are often called by the same names. The principaldivisions of the superior vena cava are:—The jugular vein, s, which accompanies thecarotid artery. The sub-clavian vein, t, which accompanies the artery of the same name,and receives the blood from the arm and hand. The inferior vena cava, like the aorta, divides into two great branches, the iliac veins uthe sub-divisions of which accompany those of the arteries, and are called by the samenames.
