Veterinary anatomy is the study of the structures of living things.
Anatomy is the study of the functions of living things, which can be mechanical, physical, or biochemical.
Physiology is the study of the structure of the animal body and the relationships of its many parts.
Gross anatomy is a field of anatomy that studies the structure of the animal body and its parts, and can be studied systemically or regionally.
Osteology is a field of anatomy that studies the structure of bones and their parts.
Arthrology is a field of anatomy that studies the structure of joints and their parts.
Lateral and medial chondrosesamoid ligaments extend between the axial aspect of the cartilages to the palmar end of the opposite angle of the distal phalanx.
The distal interphalangeal joint or coffin joint is located at the base of the first metacarpal.
Chondropulvinal ligaments extend between the axial aspect of the cartilages and the digital cushion.
Lateral and medial chondroungular collateral ligaments extend between the cartilages and the corresponding side of the navicular bone.
Embryology is a field of anatomy that studies the structure of embryos and their parts.
Cardiology is a field of anatomy that studies the structure of the heart and its parts.
Neurology is a field of anatomy that studies the structure of the nervous system and its parts.
Ophthalmology is a field of anatomy that studies the structure of the eye and its parts.
Esthesiology is a field of anatomy that studies the structure of the sense organs and their parts.
Ornithology is a field of anatomy that studies the structure of birds and their parts.
Splanchnology is a field of anatomy that studies the structure of the abdominal organs and their parts.
Angiology is a field of anatomy that studies the structure of the vascular system and its parts.
Teratology is a field of anatomy that studies the structure of embryonic and fetal tissues and their parts.
Anatomical planes are used to describe cuts made through a cadaver in order to view structures exposed by the cuts.
In other domestic animals, this placenta is temporary.
Placenta is a chorio-ducudal membrane.
The development of placenta involves the development of the chorionic villi (fetal part) and the decidua from maternal endometrium (mother part).
The chorion forms the chorionic villi (primary, secondary and tertiary) which connect the fetus with the uterus to form placenta.
In mammals, two possible sources of the chorionic vascularization are vitelline circulation provided by the yolk sac and the allantoic circulation provided by the allantois.
Chorio-allantoic placenta is the definitive form of placentation in higher mammals.
When the fetus developed, it needs much more nutrition through placenta, and this type of nourishment is called heamatotroph (through blood).
Placenta allows the embryo to get its nutrition and exports its own waste products.
Formation of the chorionic villi involves the differentiation of the trophoblast into two layers: Cytotrophoblast (cells with clear boundaries) and syncytio-trophoblast, "syncytium”.
After reaching the uterus, the embryo is nourished through the secretion of the uterine glands, this secretion is called histotroph.
The zygote is moved from the uterine tube to the uterus where it is nourished through its own yolk or through secretion from uterine tube.
Chorio-vitelline placenta is definitive in marsupials.
The chorion fuses with the yolk sac and allantois as the fetus grows.
The combination of chorion and decidua forms the placenta.
A Sagittal Plane (parasagittal or paramedian) passes through the head, body, or limb parallel to the median plane and divides the body into right/left parts.
The Median Plane is a mid-sagittal plane that divides the body into left/right halves.
A Dorsal Plane is parallel to the back and divides the body or head into dorsal and ventral portions.
A Transverse Plane is perpendicular to the median plane or long axis of the body and divides the body into cranial and caudal halves.
The myotome is the medial part of the intermediate mesoderm, giving myoblasts which will later form the different skeletal muscles of the body.
The fate of fetal membranes is either shed or absorbed at hatching or birth.
