The picture shows the inner surface of the anterior abdominal wall, to which Meckel's diverticulum has become attached, a is the small bowel; B, the inner surface of the abdominal wall; C, the umbilicus. In the lower part of the picture is seen the bladder. Passing upward from the vertex of this is the urachus. E, E, are the umbilical arteries seen on either side.
