A section through the pancreas, caudal edge of the lung and T-8 spinal ganglion.

Observe:
1. The allantois entering the umbilical cord.
2. The bile duct, portal vein and hepatic artery coursing dorsal to the head of the pancreas.
3. The inferior vena cava between the liver and right suprarenal gland.
4. The costodiaphragmatic recess in the caudal part of the pleural cavity.
5. The muscles in the body wall.
