| Exploration of peritoneal cavity |
| Upper abdominal organs in situ |
| The upper part of the specimen shown in the previous view is shown here in great detail. The direction of view has been altered slightly so that the anterior part of the coronary ligament of the liver is visible reflecting onto the diaphragm(7). The greater omentum (12) obscures the left portion of the transverse colon and the splenic flexure of the colon. |
