The Plates from the Second Book of the De Humani Corporis Fabrica by Andreas Vesalius, (1514-1564) Plate 30 - The Seventh Plate of the Muscles. In the seventh plate of the muscles, owing to the slackness of the rope by which the body hung during delineation, it falls somewhat to the rear, and inasmuch as the peritoneum and everything enfolded in it has already been reflected, it provides a view of the septum transversum which will also be observed in the present plate, depicted on the left in that form in which we saw it when excised and owing to its flexibility adhering to the wall.
