Description:
The four figures are details of the abdominal cavity, in which the layers are gradually peeled away to reveal the veins, muscles, and the intestines. The fourth figure is a diagram of the vasculature of the omentum . It is a reprint of a plate made for the Bauman Anatomia Deudsch of 1551 (it copies Geminus 1545). This is a composite plate that ultimately derives from pages 455, 456, 457, and 458 of Vesalius 1543. .
