THE BODY-CAVITIES 335 the heart and liver, (5) a median portion comprising the sinus venosus, ductus venosus and Uver, and (c) an inferior portion. The superior part persists in the region of the sinus venosus and Uver, and the inferior part only as the primary ventral ligament of the liver. The median mass of the septum transversum thus includes the sinus venosus, liver, and dorsal and ventral ligaments of the liver. At sixty hours the median mass includes chiefly the sinus and ductus venosus and their mesenteries. At eighty hours (Fig. 192) a constriction begins to appear between sinus and.

The continued growth of the liver causes a rapid lateral expansion of this portion of the septum transversum (Fig. 193 A). The primary ventral ligament of the liver is included within the wall of the anterior intestinal portal up to about eighty hours. But, as the yolk-sac shifts farther back, this ligament appears as a separate membrane (inferior part of the primary ventral.
