Question

During an operation, a veterinarian needs to make a cut in the skin along the ventral surface of the abdomen, moving in the caudal direction. The veterinarian will make the cut toward the A. head. B. tail. C. spine. D. limbs.

Answer 1

The veterinarian will make the cut towards the B. Tail because caudal means either towards the tail of the tail area.

Answer 2

Answer: B. Tail

Step-by-step explanation:

Caudal is an anatomic term used to describe or reference a body part that it's located near the "tail-end of the body". It comes from the Latin "cauda" which means "tail".

In these case the incision is heading from the Cranial or Cephalic direction (head), towards the Caudal-end of the animal (tail).
