Miller died in 1960, and the first edition of The Anatomy of the Dog was published posthumously in 1964, [1] with George C. Christensen and Howard E. Evans as co-authors. [2] Evans and Christensen also co-authored the second edition, published in 1979, retitled as Miller's Anatomy of the Dog. [3]
Visceral nodes of the abdominal cavity. The hepatic lymph nodes consist of the following groups: (a) hepatic, on the stem of the hepatic artery, and extending upward along the common bile duct, between the two layers of the lesser omentum, as far as the porta hepatis; the cystic gland, a member of this group, is placed near the neck of the gall-bladder;

The mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), also called mucosa-associated lymphatic tissue, is a diffuse system of small concentrations of lymphoid tissue found in various submucosal membrane sites of the body, such as the gastrointestinal tract, nasopharynx, thyroid, breast, lung, salivary glands, eye, and skin.
Peyer's patches (or aggregated lymphoid nodules) are organized lymphoid follicles, named after the 17th-century Swiss anatomist Johann Conrad Peyer. [1] They are an important part of gut associated lymphoid tissue usually found in humans in the lowest portion of the small intestine, mainly in the distal jejunum and the ileum, but also could be detected in the duodenum.
Other lymph nodes in the abdomen are associated with the superior and inferior mesenteric arteries. The celiac lymph nodes are grouped into three sets: the gastric, hepatic and splenic lymph nodes. [citation needed] They receive lymph from the stomach, duodenum, pancreas, spleen, liver, and gall bladder. [1]
