The male rabbit reproductive system (ventral view) with structures labeled. This image was taken during a specimen dissection at Pacific Lutheran University. Items portrayed in this file
Diagram of the female rabbit reproductive system with main components labeled. The adult female reproductive tract is bipartite, which prevents an embryo from translocating between uteri. [91] The female urethra and vagina open into a urogenital sinus with a single urogenital opening. [92]
Nesolagus is a genus of rabbits [1] containing three species of striped rabbit: the Annamite striped rabbit, the Sumatran striped rabbit, and the extinct species N. sinensis. Overall there is very little known about the genus as a whole, most information coming from the Sumatran rabbit.
A key principle in the dissection of human cadavers (sometimes called androtomy) is the prevention of human disease to the dissector.Prevention of transmission includes the wearing of protective gear, ensuring the environment is clean, dissection technique [2] and pre-dissection tests to specimens for the presence of HIV and hepatitis viruses.

Mice are the most commonly used mammal species for live animal research. Such research is sometimes described as vivisection. Vivisection (from Latin vivus 'alive' and sectio 'cutting') is surgery conducted for experimental purposes on a living organism, typically animals with a central nervous system, to view living internal structure.
Rabbits and hares move by jumping, pushing off with their strong hind legs and using their forelimbs to soften the impact on landing. Pikas lack certain skeletal modifications present in leporids , such as a highly arched skull, an upright posture of the head, strong hind limbs and pelvic girdle, and long limbs. [ 19 ]
The squamosal is a skull bone found in most reptiles, amphibians, and birds.In fishes, it is also called the pterotic bone. [1]In most tetrapods, the squamosal and quadratojugal bones form the cheek series of the skull. [2]
In some species, there may be differences in the anatomy of the lymphatic system of the kidney. For example, sheep lack lymphatics in the renal capsule, and rabbits lack interlobular lymphatics. [119] Most studies fail to detect lymphatic vessels in the renal medulla of animals, in particular, they are not found in sheep and rats.
