The splenic artery usually arises by a common trunk with the right ruminal. ?Smoil l^testC Fig. 599.—Plax of Branches of ,\.nterior Mesenteric .\rtery of Ox. 7, Anterior mesenteric artery: .2, middle colic artery; 3, i]eo-c£eco-colic artery; 4, ramus collateralis; 5, continua- tion of anterior mesenteric artery, giving off branches to small intestine; 6, csecal artery; 7, colic branch of posterior mesenteric artery; .4, termination of duodenum. artery. It passes forward and to the left across the dorsal curvature of the rumen and enters the hilus of the spleen. The anterior mesenteric artery arises from the aorta just behind the cceliac, and has about the same caliber as the latter. It descends, inclining a little to the right, and crosses the colon as the latter emerges from the spiral to run backward. After detaching twigs to the pancreas it gives off in succession the following branches: 1. The middle colic artery (A. colica media) passes to the colon as it emerges from the spiral arrangement. This artery is comparable to the middle colic or artery of the small colon of the horse; it runs backward along the terminal part of the colon, which it Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations m
