Dog anatomy details the various structures of canines (e.g. muscle, organ and skeletal anatomy). The detailing of these structures changes based on dog breed due to the huge variation of size in dog breeds.
You will find two different parts of the dog skeleton – axial and appendicular. Here, I will show you all the bones from the axial and appendicular skeleton with their special osteological features. Again, I will provide more labeled diagrams for each dog skeleton bone.
Anatomy atlas of the canine general anatomy: fully labeled illustrations and diagrams of the dog (skeleton, bones, muscles, joints, viscera, respiratory system, cardiovascular system). Positional and directional terms, general terminology and anatomical orientation are also illustrated.
The following diagram and paragraphs explain the skeletal anatomy of a dog. One extremely important part of a dog’s skeletal anatomy is the skull. It is a long bone structure that encases the brain, and contains a cavity called the orbit, where the eye is located.
The dog skeleton is the bony part of dogs made for the support and protection of internal organs. Bones are connected through joints and muscles move the bones to produce the normal dog movements. In this article we will cover: Bone types and parts of the dog skeleton. The dog skull. Dog cranium. The spine. The Trunk. The Forelimb. The Hindlimb
A dog’s skeleton is a complex structure composed of various bones and joints that provide support, protection, and mobility for the animal. Here are some of the key components of a dog’s skeleton: Skull: The skull is a bony structure that encases the brain and provides protection for the dog’s most vital organ.

Diaphragm: The diaphragm is the primary muscle involved in breathing. When a dog barks, it contracts the diaphragm forcefully to expel air out of its lungs and through its vocal cords. Laryngeal muscles: The laryngeal muscles control the opening and closing of the dog's vocal cords, which are located in the larynx (voice box) in the neck.
The canine skeletal system consists of bones, muscles, cartilages, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues. Major bone parts in a dog’s anatomy include the scapula, humerus, ulna and radius, metacarpals, femur, patella, tibia and fibula, metatarsals, vertebra, and pelvis.
