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.
Barbed hypostome (center) of Ixodes holocyclus flanked by paired palps.. The hypostome (also called the maxilla, radula, or labium) is a calcified harpoon-like structure near the mouth area of certain parasitic arthropods including ticks, that allows them to anchor themselves firmly in place on a host vertebrate while sucking blood.
Both the maxillary and mandibular canines are called the "cornerstone" of the mouth because they are all located three teeth away from the midline, and separate the premolars from the incisors. The location of the canines reflects their dual function as they complement both the premolars and incisors during mastication, commonly known as ...

The message reads, in part, "If your pet is drooling or foaming at the mouth look for these lady bugs. They cause ulcers on the tongue and mouth and have a very painful bite."
Treatment is usually by surgical incision and drainage, and the incision is placed inside the mouth to avoid a facial scar. Rarely, when infections of the canine space erode into the infra-orbital vein or the inferior ophthalmic vein (via the sinuses ), there can be spread via the common ophthalmic vein through the superior orbital fissure and ...
A dog's tongue also acts as a heat regulator. As a dog increases its exercise the tongue will increase in size due to greater blood flow. The tongue hangs out of the dog's mouth and the moisture on the tongue will work to cool the bloodflow. [23] [24] Some animals have tongues that are specially adapted for catching prey.
