The oesophagus has been cut and the stomach turned caudad, so that the dorsal surface of the stomach anil the ventral surface of the duodenum are seen, a, jian- creas {a, duodenal portion; a', gastric portion); /', pancreatic duct; c. duodenum; d, stomach; e, spleen. (duct of Santorini) opens into the duodenum about two centi- meters caudoventrad of the ampulla of Vater. It is formed by the union of branches which anastomose with those of the pancreatic duct. It is apparently sometimes lacking. Spleen. Lien.—The spleen (Fig. 102, c) is a deep red, flattened, elongated gland belonging to the lymphatic system. One of its ends, the left, lies against the free end of the gastric half of the pancreas and is broader than the other end. The spleen is curved and is suspended in the descending limb of the great omentum so that it follows the greater curvature of the stomach {d)..
