What are the classifications of dogs and cats?
Dogs and cats are vertebrates, osteichthyans, tetrapods, mammals, homeotherms, viviparous, nidicolous, and carnivores.
What is anatomy?
Anatomy is the study of the structure of living beings, including the morphology and position of different systems, organs, tissues, and their functional relationships.
What organs are found in the thoracic cavity?
The thoracic cavity contains the heart, lungs, trachea, bronchi, and esophagus.
What is the role of membranes like the pleura, peritoneum, and pericardium?
These membranes surround organs, maintaining and nourishing them with circulating vessels.
What are the two types of muscles found in dogs and cats?
Striated muscles, which are voluntary and attached to the skeleton, and smooth muscles, which are involuntary and surround arteries and the digestive tract.
What is the difference between visceral and parietal membranes?
Visceral membranes are in contact with organs, while parietal membranes are in contact with cavity walls.
Describe the axial and appendicular skeletons.
The axial skeleton includes the skull and vertebral column, while the appendicular skeleton includes the thoracic and pelvic limbs.
What are the three types of joints found in dogs and cats?
Fibrous (no movement), cartilaginous (limited movement), and synovial (movement possible).
What is the function of intervertebral discs?
Intervertebral discs allow movement, provide support, and act as shock absorbers between vertebrae.
How many bones are typically found in the skeleton of dogs and cats?
Dogs and cats have approximately 250-300 bones, varying by breed and sex.
