. Cunningham's Text-book of anatomy. Anatomy. PANCEEAS. 1205 in its right half, it is continuous with the neck; whilst to the left of this it is separated from the neck by a deep notch, incisura pancreatis, in which lie the superior mesenteric vessels (Fig. 946). Its right and inferior borders are moulded on to the side of the duodenum, which lies in a groove of the gland substance—the bile-duct being interposed as far down as the middle of the descending part of the duodenum. The posterior surface of the head is applied to the front of the vena cava inferior; it also lies on the right renal vessels and the left renal vein, and, at its left end, on the aorta as well. Its anterior surface is in contact above and on the right with the beginning of the Top of omental bursa Inferior vena cava Lesser omentum (cut) Right triangular ligament of liver Lpft triangular ligament of liver Oesophageal opening in diaphragm Gastro-phrenic ligament Corresponds to ' uncovered area' of stomach Gastro-splenic ligament (cut).

Below this it is clothed by peritoneum, and is covered by the small intestine. The superior mesenteric vessels, after passing forward through the pancreatic notch, descend in front of that portion of the head (processus uncinatus) which runs to the left along the third part of the duodenum. The superior pancreatico duodenal vessels run downwards, and break up on the front of the head (Fig. 946). The neck (Fig. 946) is a comparatively attenuated portion of the gland which lies in front of the portal vein, and connects the head to the body. Springing from the upper portion
