A section through the caudal edge of the umbilical cord, liver and duodenum and the T-11 spinal ganglion.

Observe:
1. The cut edge of the thigh on each side of the infraumbilical area of the abdominal wall.
2. The arrangement of the muscles and aponeuroses in the abdominal wall.
3. The origin of the right renal artery from the aorta.
4. The major and minor calyces of the renal pelvis.
5. The ganglion cells ventral to the aorta between the kidneys.
