The falciform ligament forms between which two structures? The lesser curvature of the stomach and the liver The spleen and the liver The stomach and the spleen The kidney and the spleen The liver and the body wall Please select an option Incorrect. The liver forms in the ventral mesentery. The liver remains attached to the stomach by persisting ventral mesentery known as lesser omentum and to the body wall by ventral mesentery known as the falciform ligament. Excision of the falciform ligament's attachment to the ventral body wall can greatly improve visibility of the cranial abdomen at surgery. WikiVet Article: Falciform ligament Incorrect. The spleen and the liver are not attached. The liver forms in the ventral mesentery.

The caudal border of which muscle forms the inguinal ligament? External abdominal oblique muscle Internal abdominal oblique muscle Rectus abdominis muscle Cutaneous trunci muscle Transversus abdominis muscle Please select an option 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 so it does not form the inguinal ligament. 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 medially by the lateral border of the rectus abdominis muscle so it does not form the inguinal ligament. 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 cutaneous trunci muscle is not involved in the formation of the inguinal canal. 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.

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 duodenal manoeuvre (for the right kidney) or colic manoeuvre (for the left kidney). The duodenal manoeuvre involves lifting the descending duodenum up, and moving it gently across the abdominal cavity to the left side of the body. This causes the mesoduodenum to catch the abdominal viscera and pull them to the left, allowing the right retroperitoneal space to be seen. The colic manoeuvre uses the descending colon and mesocolon similarly to see the left retroperitoneal space. WikiVet Article: Retroperitoneal organs 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.
