![an acute angle with each other, pass on to the brim of the pelvis. I) Phrenica dextra 8$ sinistra? vary much, both hi respect to their origin and distribution. A single trunk, arising from the aorta, above the cceliaca, sometimes produces both ; some- times the right artery comes from the cce- liaca, the left from the aorta, or both of them may arise from either of these arteries. Sometimes a common trunk producing both phrenicce, arises from the cceliaca, and then it gives off the superior branch of the coro- naria ventricidi. There may be three or four phrenicce. They pass before the crura to the lower margin of the greater diaphragm, and give off various branches in every direction. They then bend forwards along the edge of the central tendon, and communicate with each other, and with the thoracic vessels. 1) Branches to die renal capsules and fat. [See the de- scription of these arteries, at page 67.] 2) Branches on the right side to the pancreas, liver, vena cava, and pericardium; on the left side to the liver, ligament of the spleen, oesophagus, and cardia. Observation. The diaphragm receives various branches from the cceliaca, capsulares, inlcrc:stalesy and Jumbales. II) Cceliaca arises from the aorta, while it still lies between the crura of the diaphragm, about the eleventh dorsal vertebra. It is situated at the upper part of the pancreas, between the lobulus spigelii and the left part](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21068689_0066.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
