Lab 16 - Image 1
The left side of the abdominal wall is reflected in a female dog with a pregnant uterus (1). The spleen (2) and liver (3) are visible, but most other viscera are hidden by the greater omentum (4). Identify the fat-filled falciform ligament (5), which runs between the umbilicus and the liver. When intact, the ligament passes to the left of the quadrate lobe of the liver (asterisk).
