and the little veins branching off it disappear in that organ. Another part
branches off from the left-hand side of the great vein, and ascends, by a
course similar to the course recently described, into the left arm; only that the
ascending vein in the one case is the vein that traverses the liver, while in this
case it is distinct from the vein that runs into the spleen. Again, other veins
branch off from the big vein; one to the omentum, and another to the
pancreas, from which vein run a number of veins through the mesentery. All
these veins coalesce in a single large vein, along the entire gut and stomach to
the oesophagus; about these parts there is a great ramification of branch veins.
As far as the kidneys, each of the two remaining undivided, the aorta and
the big vein extend; and here they get more closely attached to the backbone,
and branch off, each of the two, into a A shape, and the big vein gets to the
rear of the aorta. But the chief attachment of the aorta to the backbone takes
place in the region of the heart; and the attachment is effected by means of
minute and sinewy vessels. The aorta, just as it draws off from the heart, is a
tube of considerable volume, but, as it advances in its course, it gets narrower
and more sinewy. And from the aorta there extend veins to the mesentery just
like the veins that extend thither from the big vein, only that the branches in
the case of the aorta are considerably less in magnitude; they are, indeed,
narrow and fibrillar, and they end in delicate hollow fibre-like veinlets.
There is no vessel that runs from the aorta into the liver or the spleen.
From each of the two great blood-vessels there extend branches to each of
the two flanks, and both branches fasten on to the bone. Vessels also extend to
the kidneys from the big vein and the aorta; only that they do not open into
the cavity of the organ, but their ramifications penetrate into its substance.
From the aorta run two other ducts to the bladder, firm and continuous; and
there are other ducts from the hollow of the kidneys, in no way
communicating with the big vein. From the centre of each of the two kidneys
springs a hollow sinewy vein, running along the backbone right through the
loins; by and by each of the two veins first disappears in its own flank, and
soon afterwards reappears stretching in the direction of the flank. The
extremities of these attach to the bladder, and also in the male to the penis and
in the female to the womb. From the big vein no vein extends to the womb,
but the organ is connected with the aorta by veins numerous and closely
packed.
Furthermore, from the aorta and the great vein at the points of divarication
there branch off other veins. Some of these run to the groins-large hollow
veins-and then pass on down through the legs and terminate in the feet and
toes. And, again, another set run through the groins and the thighs cross-garter
fashion, from right to left and from left to right, and unite in the hams with the
