Cecil von Bonde Dissection of the Platana and the Frog

Fig. 6.—Venous System of Xenopus and Rana.
[In the Frog the abdominal vein is also formed by the union of the two pelvic veins. The pelvic veins, however, lie more superficially than in the Platana. The femoral vein which passes along the front of the thigh divides into two branches, the one branch forming the pelvic vein, the other, joined by the sciatic vein from the muscles and skin of the back of the thigh, forming the renal portal vein extending along the outer side of the kidney. The dorso-lumbar vein from the dorsal wall of the body joins the renal portal vein.]

Trace the dorsal aorta backwards, and note that it gives rise to the cœliaco-mesenteric artery about midway between its origin and the origin of the first pair of renal arteries. The dorsal aorta then passes between the kidneys giving four renal arteries to each, and proceeds backwards and divides into an internal iliac artery to each leg.
