Note 2 — ANATOMY OF THE PERITONEUM AND ABDOMINAL CAVITY.

The student should not be confused by the fact that a considerable portion of the pancreatic gland in the cat will be found included between the layers of the great omentum, extending over to the left side of the abdomen. This circumstance will be found of importance in studying the development of the dorsal mesogastrium and of the structures connected with it. For the present attention should only be given to the right extremity or head of the pancreas, situated close to the duodenum and included between the layers of the mesoduodenum.
