I have the same question...I've been seeing a lot of people say the "abdominal aorta" but in my lab book, it seems to be the "dorsal aorta". Hope this helps :/
major artery that carries blood to the lower arm along the side by the thumb.
Radial artery
The coronary sinus runs in the posterior coronary sulcus. In the anterior coronary sulci the stems of the coronary artery run. The circumflex branch of the left and the extension of the right coronary artery that becomes the posterior descending artery run around the coronary sulcus from front to back
anterior interventricular sulcus
In the forearm, and it passes through what is referred to as the carpal tunnel formed by the transverse carpal ligament between the hamate hook and the trapezium carpal bones.Good thing you're not a doctor... it's on the THUMB-SIDE OF THE WRIST... NOT THE FOREARM.
The abdominal aorta is a large artery that runs dorsally along the wall of the abdominal cavity. The abdominal aorta is the largest artery in the in the abdomen.

Neither. The main cavity is called the abdominopelvic cavity. A sub-cavity inside that is the pelvic cavity. That is where you will find the organs of reproduction. The dorsal cavity is along your back and skull. The thoracic is where your heart and lungs are. The abdominal cavity is a sub-cavity of the abdominopelvic cavity, its where your stomach and other related organs are.
Abdominal cavity issurroundedby three layers of muscles from all side. On back side there is verticle muscle from twelfth rib to hip bone and on front side it is protected by that 'six' pack muscle. It protects stomach, duodenum, all-most 6 meter long coiled 'small' intestine. Then 'large' intestine (Ascending, transverse, descending and pelvic colon.) along with rectum. Various organs like Liver, spleen, pancreas,Kidneys and ureters with urinary bladder. In females reproductive organs along withovaries. Large abdominal aorta along with it's two branches. Inferior vena cave and portal venous system. Sympathetic trunk along with it's branches and various groups of lymph nodes and lymph vessels.
The abdominal muscles do many things like hold and potect the abdominal cavity and assist in breathing. But, the most obvious one is posture. They are the antagonists to the muscles along the spine and help maintain spinal curvature. The action is known as flexion of the spinal column.
The linea alba is the aponeurosis that travels along the ventral abdominal midline.
