Caudal border of external abdominal oblique; separates vascular lacuna from the inguinal canal
What is the vascular lacuna?
Vessels that supply the pelvic limb (femoral a/v)
Describe the lymphatics coursing through the inguinal canal.
Efferent vessels of superficial inguinal Lnn. form trunks that pass through the canal to the medial iliac Lnn
What is the vaginal process?
Parietal peritoneal exavation; opening of process forms a ring for the round ligament of the uterus
What is the vaginal ring?
Boundary between peritoneal cavity and vaginal cavity; wraps around the testis and spermatic cord
What is the clincal vaginal tunic?
Includes internal spermatic fascia and parietal vaginal tunic; incised during open castration
What is included in the spermatic cord?
Testicular n, a, v, and pampiniform plexus; lymphatics, ductus deferens, deferent a, v; internal cremaster m; mesofuniculum
What do the R and L tesiticular veins drain into?
R: caudal vena cava
L: L renal vein
Is the cremaster muscle included in the spermatid cord?
The internal cremaster m is but the cremaster m is not.
What is the function of the testis?
Sperm and hormone production
What is the function of the epididymis?
Storage and maturation of sperm
What are the layers of the scrotum and the testes?
-Skin fused with tunica dartos (smooth muscle)
-External spermatic fascia
-Internal spermatic fascia
-Parietal vaginal tunic (serous membrane)
-Vaginal cavity
-Visceral vaginal tunic (serous membrane)
-Tunica albuginea (white fascia around testicle)
-Testicular parenchyma
What is cut through in an open castration?
First: skin/tunica dartos, external and internal spertamic fascia, and prietal vaginal tunic

once in the vaginal cavity, to expose the testicle: cut the visceral vaginal tunic, and tunica albuginea
What is the gubernaculum and what does it become?
Mesenchymal tissue (causes testicles to drop); it becomes the proper ligament of the testis and the ligament of the tail of the epidiymis (male) and the round ligament of the uterus (female)
What is the peritoneum?
Serous membrane; made of parietal and visceral peritoneum
What is the peritoneal cavity?
Located between parietal and visceral peritoneum
What is connecting peritoneum?
double sheets of peritoneum that extend between organs or connect them to parietal peritoneum (mesentary, omentum, ligament)
What are ligaments are remnants of the ventral primitive mesentary?
Falicoform ligament and median ligament of the bladder
What is contained in the superficial leaf of the omentum?
Spleen
What is contained in the deep leaf of the omentum?
Left limb of the pancreas
What fetal structure remnant is found in the median ligament of the bladder?
Urachus (carried waste to placenta)
What is the fetal remnant of umbilical veins?
Round ligament of the liver
What is the fetal remnant of umbilical arteries?
Round ligament of the bladder
What courses through the openings in the diaphragm and where are they?
Aortic hiatus: aorta, azygous v, thoracic duct - dorsally

esophogeal hitus: esophogus, dorsa/ventral vagal trunks, esophogeal vessels - in the middle of the diaphragm

caval foramen: caual vena cava - kinda ventrally just a little left lateral
What is the function of the liver?
Metabolism of carbs, fats, proteins; produces bile; store and filter blood; excrete bilirubin; detoxify foreign substances
Function of hepatic artery.
Carry oxygen rich blood to liver
Function of portal vein
Carry nutrient rich blood to liver (from GI)
Function of hepatic vein
