Type of directional plane

– the rear surface of the fore paw that bears the footpads; the opposite surface

Provides oxygen and eliminates CO2.

- plane perpendicular to the long axis of the body, head, limb, or organ which divides it into cranial and caudal parts.

: Basic unit of structure and function of all living things.

Functions in support, protection, and movement. Also important in blood cell formation and mineral storage.

characteristic of all living to maintain stability, static or constant conditions in internal environment.

3 parts of palmar

Forms the external covering of the body providing protection, preventing desiccation, supplying sensory information about the environment and synthesizing vitamin D.

 is a system possessing the characteristics of living things—the ability to obtain and process energy, the ability to respond to environmental changes, and the ability to reproduce.

plane passing longitudinally through the body or head, dividing it into equal right and left parts.

– structures that lie towards the side of the animal (i.e., away from the median plane)

– the proximity to the surface of the body.

– structures or part of the structure that lie close to the main mass of the body

: Functions in movement, maintains posture, and generates heat.

– the rear surface of the hind paw that bears the footpads

– the proximity to the center of an anatomical structure of the body.

– towards the front of the animal (i.e., towards the head)

– towards or near the back or vertebral column of the animal and the corresponding surfaces of the head, neck and tail

these produce hormones that help maintain the internal environment.

– structures that lie towards or near the median plane (i.e., closer to the middle of the animal)

– towards the nose; used to describe the position of structures on the head)

: Group of cells of the same kind.

is a hypothetical planes used to transect the body, in order to describe the location of structures or the direction of movements.

Group of organs that work together to perform a certain function.

– towards the rear end or tail of the animal (i.e., away from the head)

– structures or part of the structure that lie away from the main mass of the body or origin (e.g., the free end of the limb)

: Eliminates nitrogenous wastes, maintains fluid and electrolyte balance, and has an endocrine function.

MRS GREN

: Functions to produce offspring

Type of Anatomical plane

: Structure composed of one or more types of tissues. The tissues of an organ work together to perfume a specific function.

– towards or near the belly or lowermost surface of the body and the corresponding surfaces of the head, neck and tail

Returns excess interstitial fluid to the blood and contains phagocytic cells involved in immunity.

Through its functions of sensory input, integration, and motor output, it quickly helps the animal interact with the internal and external environment.

- plane at right angles to the median and transverse planes which divides the body into dorsal and ventral portions.

Assimilation, breakdown, and absorption of nutrients. Provides important immunological barrier against external environment.

: Includes blood vessels and the heart, which function to carry nutrient
