A section through the T-12 spinal ganglion and gastroduodenal junction.

Observe:
1. The gall bladder on the caudal surface of the liver and drained by the cystic duct.
2. The junction of the splenic and superior mesenteric veins to form the portal vein in Section 41 between the dorsal and ventral pancreas.
3. The relation of the splenic vein to the dorsal pancreas.
4. The superior mesenteric ganglion ventral to the aorta and medial to the suprarenal medulla.
5. A mesonephric capsule and tubule.
