                                      Forelimb:           This term is majorly used in animals who walk on their four limbs. Hence, forelimbs refer to the front limb(in case of humans we often call them arms).   Major bones:          Forelimb majorly consists of the following bones: Scapula Humerus Radius Ulna Carpal bones Metacarpal bones Phalanges            We will go through the SCAPULA in this article, other bones will be explained next.   1)Scapula  It is also called "Shoulder bone".  It is s flat, triangular bone that has two surfaces(lateral and medial) and three borders(cranial, caudal, and dorsal). It also has three angles (cranial, caudal, and ventral). There is a spine that divides the lateral side of the scapula into two u...

                                     There are two chief methods that are employed to study anatomy: Systemic Study Topographic Study 1)Systemic Study:                         In this, the body is studied in the form of different systems. Major Divisions: Osteology:   It is the description of the bones. Arthrology:  It is the description of joints. Myology: It is the description of muscles. Splanchnology: It is the description of viscera(soft organs). This includes the following subdivisions of the soft organs of the body: Digestive system Respiratory system Urinary system Male reproductive system           Female reproductive system       Angiology: It is the description of the organs of circulation. Neurology: It is the description of the Nervous system.  Esthesiology:...

                  Anatomy:   Origin:         Anatomy is a combination of two words; a Greek" word ANA (apart) and "Latin" word TOMY (cut).   Definition:         It is the branch of biological science that deals with the structure and form of animals. Anatomy includes the study of shape, weight, color, texture, and relative position of various parts and organs of the organisms when they are in a state of normal health.   Branches of Anatomy:         The main branches of anatomy are: 1)Gross Anatomy/Macro Anatomy:         It is the study of structures which can be dissected and seen with the help of the naked eye. 2)Histology/Micro Anatomy:         The study of minute structures that are too small to be seen without a microscope. 3)Cytology/Ultrastructural Anatomy:   ...

                         Introduction:                                        I'm a 3rd year DVM student and my main purpose is to elaborate the distinguishing features of three main terms used during this course i.e Equines, Bovines, and Canines. As a DVM student, I clearly know that 1st-year students find it difficult to understand these terms at once. So my main focus is to clear your doubts and make your concept crystal clear. Topics:       1)Equines        2)Bovines        3)Canines 1)Equines:                                    Equines consist of Horse, Zebras, Donkey, Mule, and Hinny. They are simple stomach animals means that they don't regurgitate. Identification:  ...
