Where Should the First Incision Be Made When Dissecting a Cat

Question

Where should the first incision be made when dissecting a cat?
A) on the midline of the dorsal surface just anterior to the tail
B) on the lateral side of the dorsal surface near the neck
C) on the midline of the ventral surface just anterior to the tail
D) on the lateral side of the ventral surface near the neck

Accepted Answer

The first incision when dissecting a cat should be made on the midline of the ventral surface just anterior to the tail. This allows for easy access to the internal organs and prevents damage to them during the dissection process. The other options (A, B, and D) are not ideal because they do not provide optimal access to the internal organs and may result in damage or incomplete dissection.
