Lymphatics of the pancreas, duodenum and spleen (Latin)

Coronal section of abdomen with the stomach (gaster) removed to show the lymphatic pathways of the upper abdomen. The nll. hepatici can be identified around the porta hepatis, as well as a nl. cysticus which drains the gallbladder (vesica biliaris). The nll. hepatici largely drain to the nll. coeliaci via lymphatic vessels which course along the aa. hepaticae communis et propria. The nll. gastrici dextri et sinistri can also be clearly observed along their related arteries.
