Show 100 MR. GARROD ON THE VISCEKAL ANATOMY [Jail. 21, entirely by a large, apparently globose viscus, which is the ventral wall of the caecum : anteriorly to this, in the umbilical region, is seen a very capacious and sacculated tube, running nearly transversely and a little backwards as it tends to the left side ; this is the posterior moiety of the enormous loop of the first part of the colon (ascending colon in man). Further forward, in the epigastric region, and somewhat covered by the ribs, is seen another transverse, but less considerable, sacculated tube, which is the anterior moiety of the same loop. There is no omentum covering these viscera. Nothing more can be seen without moving these parts. Superior view of the colon of C. sumatrensis. si, small intestine ; cee, caecum; cl, colic loop, with the transverse colon between it and the caecum. When the intestines are removed from the abdomen, the following disposition of the viscera is observed. From the huge subgiobose caecum, which is median in position, with its axis slightly obliquely |
