    The lower part of the abdominal cavity is in a great measure formed by the pelvis; above and below then, this cavity, the abdominal, is protected by osseous walls; that is, by the ribs above and by the coxal bones below; behind, the vertebral column protects it throughout the whole length of the cavity. This brief description may, it is hoped, induce the artist to acquire of the structures described, a more complete knowledge.
