There is no abdominal muscle whose fibres run dorsocaudally. The fibres of the internal abdominal oblique run cranioventrally from the tuber coxae and the thoracolumbar fascia to the linea alba.

A slit in the aponeurosis of which muscle forms the superficial inguinal ring? Rectus abdominis muscle Cutaneous trunci muscle External abdominal oblique muscle Internal abdominal oblique muscle Transversus abdominis muscle Please select an option Incorrect. The rectus abdominis muscle does not have an aponeurosis. A slit in the aponeurosis of the external abdominal oblique muscle forms the superficial inguinal ring. WikiVet Article: abdominal musculature. Incorrect. The cutaneous trunci muscle is not involved in the formation of the inguinal canal. A slit in the aponeurosis of the external abdominal oblique muscle forms the superficial inguinal ring. WikiVet Article: abdominal musculature. Correct! The caudal border of the external abdominal oblique muscle is thickened to form the inguinal ligament and a slit in its aponeurosis forms the superficial inguinal ring. WikiVet Article: abdominal musculature. Incorrect. The inguinal canal is bordered cranially by the internal abdominal oblique muscle. A slit in the aponeurosis of the external abdominal oblique muscle forms the superficial inguinal ring. WikiVet Article: abdominal musculature. Incorrect. The transversus abdominis muscle is not involved in the formation of the inguinal canal. A slit in the aponeurosis of the external abdominal oblique muscle forms the superficial inguinal ring. WikiVet Article: abdominal musculature.

Which of the following organs is considered to be retroperitoneal? Pancreas Liver Kidneys Duodenum Spleen Please select an option Incorrect. The pancreas is enclosed by a fold of visceral peritoneum so is intraperitoneal. The kidneys are located between the parietal peritoneum and the body wall, hence they are considered retroperitoneal. In practice, this means that the kidneys (and associated structures such as adrenal glands and ovaries) can be easily visualised at exploratory surgery by performing either a Incorrect.

The omental bursa is the space between which structures? The greater omentum and the lesser omentum The greater omentum and the stomach The double layers of peritoneum forming the greater omentum The lesser omentum and the falciform ligament The greater omentum and the supraomental recess Please select an option Incorrect. As the stomach develops there is a great expansion of the dorsal suspension of the stomach or the greater omentum. The greater omentum is a double layer of peritoneum which attaches to the greater curvature of the stomach and the dorsal body wall. The cavity between the layers is the omental bursa and the opening to it is the epiploic foramen. WikiVet Article: peritoneal cavity. Incorrect.
