  2. Cow Anatomy

  3. Terms to Know • Pins- the protrusions of the wing of the Ilium bones (pelvis) just lateral to the base of the tail in ruminants • Brisket- the mass of connective tissue, muscle, and fat covering the cranioventral (front) part of the chest in ruminants • Dewclaw- the rudimentary first digit. Found on cows, dear, goats, cats, and dogs • Poll- the top of the head • Switch- hair at the end of the tail

  4. Cow Skeleton Anatomy

  5. Terms to Know • Mandible- bottom jaw • Maxilla- top jaw • Parts of the spine (in order from cranial to caudal end)- Cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, caudal.

  6. Horse Anatomy

  7. Terms to Know • Chestnut- a callus on the body of the horse usually around the leg/hock area. • Muzzle- the forward, projecting part of the head of certain animals including the mouth, nose, and jaws; also called the snout. • Hoof- the horny sheath covering the toes or lower part of the foot • Hock- the tarsal joint of the hind leg • Pinna- the tips of the ears

  8. More Terms to Know • Fetlock- projection on the lower part of the leg of a horse it is above and behind the hoof • Girth- strap encircling an animal's body in order to secure a load or saddle on its back • Coronet- the upper margin of a horse's hoof • Gaskin- The part of the hind leg of a horse or related animal between the stifle and the hock • Withers- The high part of the back of a horse or similar animal, located between the shoulder blades; not the shoulders!

  9. Hoof Anatomy

  10. Terms to Know • Coffin Bone- is the bottom most bone in the equine leg and is encased by the hoof • Frog- the V-shaped pad of soft horn between the bars on the sole of the equine hoof

  11. Goat Anatomy

  12. Terms to Know • Chest Floor- the floor of the chest, used to measure meat in meat goats • Horn- hard, usually permanent structures projecting from the head of certain mammals • Barrel- the trunk of a quadruped animal • Flank- the section of flesh on the body of an animal between the last rib and the hip

  13. Dog Anatomy

  14. Terms to Know • Stop- where the muzzle needs the skull • Cheek- The fleshy part of either side of the face below the eye and between the nose and ear

  15. Bird Anatomy

  16. Terms to Know • Gizzard- A modified muscular pouch behind the stomach in the alimentary canal of birds • Birds sometimes swallow rocks to help the grinding process • Tailbone- the bottom of the spine • Hip Girdle- the three bones of the pelvis bonded together into one bone. • As opposed to having them sutured together • Keel- an extension of the sternum which runs axially along the midline of the sternum and extends outward

  17. Similarities • A lot of the bones in horses correspond with those in cows and goats. Dogs and cats have similar structures to horses and sheep as well. • Birds are built slightly differently, because they are built to fly.
