Study of cells and tissues using a microscope. The body organs are made up of different tissues and tissues are made up of cells.

Histology

Study of endocrine glands.

Endocrinology

An imaginary line passing through the body craniocaudally dividing the body into two equal right and left halves.

Median Plane

The rectum, pelvic urethra, and the cervix.

Pelvic Cavity

Study of Heart and Blood vessels.

Angiology

At a right angle of the median plane that divides the body into cranial and caudal parts.

Transverse Plane

Study of Sense Organs.

Esthesiology

System wide study. We divide the body into different systems depending on the functions of various organs. Many organs performing similar functions are grouped into one system.

Systemic Anatomy

Relatively close to the vertebral column. (This term is mainly used in reference to a bone).

Proximal

Refers to the caudal surface of the fore limb below the elbow joint.

Palmar Surface

When the animal is laying on its back. (face upward)

Supine Position

Study of body organs without aided eyes.

Gross Anatomy

More towards the head. e.g. the heart is cranial to diaphragm.

Cranial

When the animal's dorsum is up.(face down)

Prone Position

Refers to the caudal surface of the hind limb below the hock joint.

Plantar Surface

More towards the tail. e.g. the diaphragm is positioned caudal to the heart.

Caudal

Includes the study of Digestive System, Respiratory System and Urogenital System.

Splanchnology

More towards the backbone or vertebral column. e.g. the kidneys are located dorsal to the intestines.

Dorsal

The liver, spleen, stomach, intestines pancreas, kidneys, ureters, ovaries. etc. (the diaphragm is a muscular wall that completely separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity.)

Abdominal Cavity

Study of Bones.

Osteology

Study of prenatal (before birth) development of body organs.

Embryology

Relatively away from the vertebral column. e.g. The intestines are located ventral to the kidneys.

Ventral

Relatively away from the median plane. e.g. the lungs lie lateral to the heart.

Lateral

Any Plane parallel to the median plane.

Sagittal Plane

Study of Joints.

Arthrology, Syndesmology

Contains thoracic part of trachea and esophagus, lungs, heart, and associated blood vessels.

Thoracic Cavity

Closer to the medial plane. e.g. the heart is median to the lungs.

Medial

Study of the location of body organs in relation to each other.

Topographic Anatomy

Away from the vertebral column. (This term is mainly used in reference to a bone).Away from the vertebral column. (This term is mainly used in reference to a bone).

Distal

The horizontal plane lies at right angles to what plane?

both the median and transverse planes, dividing the body into dorsal and ventral parts.
