Posteriorly there is a transverse fissure at right angles to the longitudinal fissure at which the vessels supplying the liver with blood enter. The liver differs from all other glands in the body in that its chief blood-supply is veno2is^ being carried to it by the portal vein from the capillaries of the stomach, intestines, ^ The student Mall find it advantageous to accompany this description with a practical examination and dissection of the liver of a sheep or pig.
