Cats are carnivores that have highly specialized teeth. There are four types of permanent dentition teeth that structure the mouth: twelve incisors, four canines, ten premolars and four molars.[1] The premolar and first molar are located on each side of the mouth that together are called the carnassial pair.
Dog anatomy. Dog anatomy comprises the anatomical study of the visible parts of the body of a domestic dog. Details of structures vary tremendously from breed to breed, more than in any other animal species, wild or domesticated, [ 1 ] as dogs are highly variable in height and weight.
Stifle joint. This dog's stifle joint is labeled 12. The stifle joint (often simply stifle) is a complex joint in the hind limbs of quadruped mammals such as the sheep, horse or dog. It is the equivalent of the human knee and is often the largest synovial joint in the animal's body. The stifle joint joins three bones: the femur, patella, and tibia.

Felidae (/ ˈfɛlɪdiː /) is the family of mammals in the order Carnivora colloquially referred to as cats. A member of this family is also called a felid (/ ˈfiːlɪd /). [3][4][5][6] The 41 extant Felidae species exhibit the greatest diversity in fur patterns of all terrestrial carnivores. [7] Cats have retractile claws, slender muscular ...
The musculoskeletal system provides form, support, stability, and movement to the body. It is made up of the bones of the skeleton, muscles, cartilage, [ 1 ] tendons, ligaments, joints, and other connective tissue that supports and binds tissues and organs together. The musculoskeletal system's primary functions include supporting the body ...
They are used in anatomy, surface anatomy, surgery, and radiology. [45] Structures may be described as being at the level of a specific spinal vertebra, depending on the section of the vertebral column the structure is at. [45] The position is often abbreviated.
An endoskeleton is a skeleton that is on the inside of a body, like humans, dogs, or some fish. The endoskeleton develops within the skin or in the deeper body tissues. The vertebrate endoskeleton is basically made up of two types of tissues (bone and cartilage). During early embryonic development the endoskeleton is composed of notochord and ...
