. The comparative anatomy of the domesticated animals. Veterinary anatomy.

DIFFERENTIAL CHARACTERS ^^^' ^^^' OP THE MUSCLES OF THE ABDOMINAL REGION IN OTHER THAN SOLIPED ANIMALS. As has been already- said, the development of the abdominal tunic is in pro- portion to the volume of the digestive viscera. This membrane is, therefore, very wide and thick in Ruminants, while it is re- duced to an insignificant leaf in the Pig and Car- nivora. In these animals the internal crural aponeu- rosis does not exist, and is replaced by a cellular layer. The aponeurosis of the great oblique, instead of being doubled into two laminae at its posterior border, is entirely reflected to form the crural arch. In the latter animals, the great oblique is also dis- tinguished by the extensive development of its mus- cular part, and the narrow- ness of its aponeurosis. The muscular portion of the small oblique of Ru- minants occupies the entire space comprised between the posterior border of the last rib, the extremity of muscles of the anterior aspect of the body op man; the transverse processes of on the left side the superficial layer is seen, on the lumbar vertebrae, and The right the deeper layer. the external angle of the l, Pectoralis major; 2, Deltoid; 3, Anterior boraer of the ilium.
