A section through the duodenal-jejunal junction, spleen and T-9–T-10 interganglion region.

Observe:
1. The apex of the bladder that is continuous with the urachus in Section 26.
2. The splenic vein passing dorsal to the body of the pancreas and the tail of the pancreas at the hilum of the spleen.
3. The lesser sac enclosed by the greater omentum.
4. The fusion area between the body of the pancreas and the left kidney and suprarenal gland.
5. The superior mesenteric artery near its origin from the aorta.
