gallbladder. These smaller branches are like the roots of a tree that penetrates deep into their place of origin. The side of the vein that is close to the concavity of the liver splits into eight branches as soon as it separates from the liver. Two of these branches are small; the other six are larg e 13 . 6/1. One of the six large blood vessels ( v. coronaria ventriculi ) 15 6/2. The second large blood vessel ( v. lienalis ) travels from the six to the spleen to nourish it, but before it comes the spleen, it produces branches, of which the most visible blood vessel turns to the pancreas and then returns to the spleen. Once it reaches the spleen, a chunky unit ( v. gastroepiploica sinistra ) returns to the left side of the stomach to feed it. The branch that penetrates the inside of the spleen reaches the middle, and then a branch starts up and down from it. The upward-moving blood vessel branches off, and a branch gets the upper half of the spleen to feed it. The other department (which goes down) runs the curvature of the stomach and then turns in two directions. One ( v. gastrica sinistra ) travels to the left side of the abdomen to nourish it. travels to the surface of the stomach to feed the outside of the stomach. The inside of the stomach, on the other hand, benefits from the undigested food that is in it by assimilating it to itself directly, the food becoming thereby the very material of the stomach. 16 The other ( v. gastroepiploica dextra ) plunges into the stomach at the mouth of the stomach ( fam al-ma ʿ ida ) to stimulate the bitter, astringent part of the black bile, from which excess humours flow out. It excites the stomach and this tickling force arouses the appetite. The downward branch (from inside the spleen) ( v. gastroepiploica sinistra ) also splits in two: one branch branches off in the lower half of the spleen to nourish it. The other branch comes to the omentum ( a ṯ - ṯ urab ) and units in it to feed it. 6/3. The third large vessel starts on the left of the six ( v. mesenterica inferior ) and branches into the mesentery ( ǧ ad ā wil al- ʿ ur ū q ) (~ mesocolon), which surrounds the rectum ( al-ma ʿī al-mustaq ī m ) (~ mesorectum) ( v. rectalis superior ) to absorb what is in the sediment of the digested foo d 17 6/5. The fifth branch of the six ( v. mesenterica superior ) is distributed in the blood vessels of the mesenteric ( al- ǧ ad ā wil ) ( v. colica dextra / sinistra ), . 6/4. The fourth large branch is divided from the six ( v. gastrica dextra ) into hair-thin branches. Some of these branches run to the convex outer half of the stomach, on the right side, where they meet the branch of the vein ( v. lienalis ) originating from the left side of the spleen. Some of these hair-thin branches turn to the right side of the omentum ( a ṯ - ṯ urab ), branching in it, and encountering the branches coming from here on the left side, from the spleen. 18 6/6. The sixth branch of the six large vessels ( v. ileocaecalis ) which are around the colon ( al-q ū l ū n ) to absorb nutrients. 19 First, the base of the empty vein ( v. cava inferior ) is divided into hair-thin branches in the liver itself to attract food from the hair-thin blood vessels of the portal vein ( v. portae ) . is also divided into branches, and most of the departments pass around the jejunum ( a ṣ - ṣā 'im ), the others along the small intestine ( al-laf ā 'if ad-daq ī qa ). around the part that connects to the appendix ( al-a ʿ war ) to extract food from it. Anatomical description of the branch of the empty vein that moves upwards 20 The branches of the empty vein come from the inside the liver, i.e. the convex side of the liver ( ḥ adabat al-kabid ). The branches of the portal vein enter the inside of the liver from the concave side of the liver ( taq ʿī r al-kabid ) . 21 Then the trunk of the empty vein rises from the convex side of the liver and splits into two branches: an ascending branch and a descending branch. The upward branch pierces the diaphragm ( ḥ i ǧā b ), 22 11 Year 2022 Global Journal of Medical Research Volume XXII Issue I Version I ( D ) K © 2022 Global Journals Basics of the Medieval Arabic Medicine: The Vascular Systems in the Canon of Medicine of Avicenna Incorporating a Translation of a Part of the First Book One of the two small blood vessels is ( v. pancreatico duodenalis inferio r ). 14 Travels to the duodenum to attract food, then gives smaller branches, and one of these enters an organ called the pancreas. The other small blood vessel ( v. pylorica ) at the lower part of the stomach and the stomach gate ( al-baww ā b ) ( pylorus ) (where the lower opening of the stomach is) is divided into branches to absorb food. 13 The portal vein has four roots: v. coronaria ventriculi, v. mesenterica superior, v. mesenterica inferior and v. lienalis. In the description, the other veins are the tributaries of these veins. 14 One of the branches of the portal vein, superior mesenteric vein is a tributary. 15 A vein passing through the small curvature of the stomach, which is opens into the trunk of the portal vein . 16 The two gastric veins ( v. gastrica sinistra et dextra ) and the two gastroepiploic veins ( v. gastroepiploica sinistra et dextra ) anastomoses with each other and supplies the stomach. 17 Venous drainage of the lower two-thirds of the rectum is not part of the portal circulation. 18 The right colic vein ( v. colica dextra ) a branch of superior mesenteric vein ( v. mesenterica superior ) and the left colic vein ( v. colica sinistra ) belongs to the inferior mesenteric ( v. mesenterica inferior )system. Both transport blood from the colon to the liver. 19 A branch of superior mesenteric vein ( v. mesenterica superior) . 20 The hepatic veins ( vv. hepaticae ) flow into the inferior venacava. In the description, we can read this in reverse. It is not the empty vein that divides into hairline branches, but the capillaric veins flow into the main collecting blood vessel. 21 The convex surface (wall surface) of the liver is located towards the diaphragm. The concave surface (visceral) is towards the stomach and intestines. The hepatic veins flow close to the convex side of the inferior vena cava, these may have seemed to the medieval observer as if the empty vein branched towards the liver. 22 The inferior venacava behind the sternum, at the height of the 8th vertebrae (T8) at the hiatus cavae inferioris drills through the
