| Dissection of jejunum, ileum and colon |
| Arteries, veins and nerves of upper part of jejunum |
| The first part of the jejunum has been arranged in a loop with its mesentery dissected to illustrate the manner in which vessels and nerves approach the intestinal wall. The peritoneal layer which formed the left side of the mesentery has been preserved behind the dissected vessels. Lymphatic structures, which are illustrated in view 141-2, have been mostly removed. |
