Study Notes
Abdominal Topography
-
Learning Objectives:
- Describe/recognize/identify abdominal muscles in dogs, horses, and cows.
- Relate the normal topographical anatomy of gastrointestinal system components in dogs, horses, and cows.
- Draw the normal topographical anatomy of the gastrointestinal system's components (dorsal, left lateral, ventral, and right lateral) in dogs, horses, and cows.
Abdominal Cavity
-
Structure:
- The abdominal cavity is surrounded by ribs cranially and the pelvic inlet caudally.
- The diaphragm forms the cranial boundary, separating it from the thoracic cavity.
- Abdominal muscles form the walls
-
Components:
- Anatomical features such as ribs, pubic inlet, and ilium provide scaffolding for abdominal muscles.
- Abdominal muscles extend from the ribs to the inlet, supporting the abdominal organs.
- The cavity is bound dorsally by thoracic vertebrae and some lumbar vertebrae.
- Cranial diaphragm is dome-shaped (rigid)
- Caudal diaphragm (intrathoracic) surrounded by ribs.
Intrathoracic Portion of the Abdominal Cavity
-
Relative positioning:
- Provides a sense of where organs such as the spleen, liver, and stomach are positioned, relative to the dome of the diaphragm.
- Structures like the spleen (in left side) are positioned in the thorax for some animals.
- Shown by diagram.
-
Visualization: Diagram displays relative positions of the dome of the diaphragm, and line of pleural reflection, compared to animals' positions in the thorax.
- Diagram depicts dog, cat, and horse.
Muscles of the Abdominal Wall
-
Layers:
- Cutaneous trunci
- External abdominal oblique
- Internal abdominal oblique
- Transversus abdominis
- Rectus abdominis
-
Functions:
- Stabilize abdomen
- Protect abdominal organs
- Aid to digestion
-
Considerations:
- Muscles fuse to form white line.
- Cut these muscles cautiously when performing surgery, as they are highly vascular.
Contents of the Abdominal Cavity
-
Organs:
- Liver, stomach, spleen, small intestine, colon, cecum,
-
Locations:
- Diagram shows organs of the dog, horse, and cow, in their respective abdominal spaces.
Abdominal Topography: Left Side
- Visceral Arrangement: Visceral organs are arranged dorsally and cranially.
- Organs' Locations/Arrangement: Diagram specifies the position of various organs (liver, stomach, spleen , Jejunum, etc.) on the left side of the abdominal cavity.
Abdominal Topography: Right Side
- Visceral Arrangement: Similar to the left, visceral organs are arranged dorsally and cranially on the right side.
- Organ Positions/Arrangement: Diagram shows the placement of various organs (liver, cecum, descending colon, etc.) on the right side of the abdominal cavity.
Abdominal Viscera on the Right Side
- Diagram shows the location of organs in the abdominal cavity.
Bovine Abdomen Right Side
- Displays the location of various organs within the bovine abdominal cavity, including the mesoduodenum, duodenum, liver, gall bladder, quadrate lobe, greater omentum and lesser omentum, abomasum.
Abdominal Topography: Ventral View
-
Organ Positions: Diagram depicts a ventral view of organs in a horse's abdomen. Identifies Jejunum, colon, ascending colon, and descending colon.
- Identifies other organs' relative location within the abdomen, and relative positioning in horses.
Left Lung and Spleen Removed, Reticulum and Rumen Opened
- Anatomical View: Removal of certain organs reveals the reticulums and rumen.
-
Division of Rumen: The rumen is divided into sacs (cranial, ventral, dorsal).
- Anatomical features of animals are displayed.
Bovine Omentum
- Structure: Greater omentum has two layers
- Regions: Superficial and deep layers.
- Support Structures: Mesoduodenum and descending duodenum.
- Additional Considerations: Longitudinal grooves are present.
Abdominal Topography: Right Side
- Diagram displays abdominal organ locations that are visible in a Right-side view of a dog's abdomen.
Abdominal Topography: Left Side
- Diagram displays abdominal organ locations that are visible in a left-side view of a dog's abdomen.
Organ Arrangement: Cow, Horse, and Dog
- Diagram for cow, horse, and dog, depicting organization of organs.
- Shows that liver is pushed to the right by the stomach, in all three species.

Description
This quiz focuses on the abdominal muscles and topographical anatomy of the gastrointestinal system in dogs, horses, and cows. You will learn to identify and describe the anatomical structures and their relationships within the abdominal cavity. Additionally, you'll be asked to demonstrate your knowledge by drawing the topographical anatomy of these animals.
