 2^6 A N A 1 fent by the fplenlca to the pancreas, along its lower fide. The left gaftric, or gaftro-epiploic vein, goes out from the fplenica, at the left extremity of the pancreas ; from whence it runs to the great extremity of the ftomach, and along the great arch, till it meets the gaftrica dextra, which is continuous with the finiflra. In its paflage, it gives feveral branches to both fides of the ftomach, which are diftributed by numerous ramifica^ tions, form many areolae, and communicate with the branches of the coronaria ventriculi. At a fmall diftance from its origin, this gaftric vein fends out a branch, which is diftributed to the omentum; and on this account it has been called ploica. The vena epiploica finiftra arifes at the fmall extremity of the pancreas, and is ramified on the omentum, all the way to the colon, where it communicates with the haemorrhoidalis interna. Laftly, the vena fplenica reaches the fiffure of the fpleen, which it enters through its whole length by feveral branches. It is from the moft pofterior of thefe branches that the veins are fent off to the great extremity of the ftomach, formerly known by the name of vafa brevia, which communicate with the coronaria ventriculi and gaftrica finiftra..

o M Y. Part IV. The internal hasmorrhoidal vein is one of the three great branches of the vena portae, coming ordinarily from the beginning of the vena fplenica, and fometimes from the extremity or angle of the bifurcation of the great trunk of the vena portae. At a fmall diftance from its beginning, it gives to the duodenum a fecond vena duodenalis. Afterwards it is divided into two branches, one fuperior or afcending, the other inferior or defcendihg. The firft runs to the upper part of the arch of the colon, where, after many ramifications, it communicates with a branch of the great mefaraica, with the ramifications of the gaftro-epiploica finiftra, and with thofe of the neighbouring epiploica. The inferior branch runs down on the left portion of the colon, on the lower incurvations of that inteftine, and on the redhim, all the way to the anus. In this courfe, it fupplies the mefocolon, and forms arches, which fend out numerous fmall ramifications, which furround thefe inteftines. This vein has been named hcemorrhoidalis, from the tumours oftenrfound at its extremity next the anus, which are called huemorrhoides. The word interna is added,, to diftinguilh this vein from the hatmorrhoidalis externa, which comes from the vena hypogaftrica, and with which this vein communicates by capillary ramifications.
