Theory of Nutrition 141 Arrangement and of the Lacteals. When the mucous coat of the small intestines is examinedseveral hours after a meal, the lacteal vessels are seen turgidwith chyle, and covering its entire surface, as represented infig. 95. 1. Smaller branches of the lacteals. 2. Largerbranches, formed by the union of the smaller. These vessels, which are so numerous, and of such magni-tude as to sometimes almost conceal the ramifications of theblood-vessels, anastomose freely with each other, forming anetwork, from the meshes of which proceed branches, which,successively uniting, form larger and still larger trunks; andthese, perforating the mucous coat, pass for some distancebetween the mucous and muscular coats, finally perforatingboth coats, and passing to the outside of the intestine, and,with it, are included between the layers of the mesentery, as Fig. OOr/BSH OF THE LACTEALS. seen in fig. 96. 1.
