I remember the cadaver labs during the school days. Really hard to spot certain (save for the really large organs which are obvious) unless you know what it is you’re looking for. Sometimes an illustration tells you it should be there but the actual structure is... underwhelming or barely visible/damaged from years of specimen abuse. Can see how things like this can be missed.

For some reason this reminds me of the joke: “If the surgeon cuts a vessel and knows the name of that vessel, the situation is serious; if the anaesthetist knows the name of the vessel the situation is irretrievable”

Strangely enough, I find the anesthesiologist sometimes knows the name of the vessels as well as the surgeon, especially for the run of the mill surgeries. Because it usually turns a 20 minute operation to 60-90 minutes (the added time to fix the mistake and find the bleeder, and go to plan B), and they miss their coffee break as a result!

This is it. Most structures just look like meat.

It's easy to spot them on a 3D render where they are bright yellow. In real life, it's just different textures of meat with slightly different hues.
