    Study Notes

    Comparative Veterinary Macroscopic Anatomy

    Introduction to Comparative Anatomy

    • Definition: description and comparison of animal structures, basis for their classification
    • Considerations:
      • Non-uniform structure and architecture among animals
      • General plan of organization in each major group of organisms
      • Variations in details of the general plan characteristic of species
      • Constitutional plan possible to differentiate one individual from another
    • Systematic approach to study anatomy: body regarded as systems of organs or apparatus with similar origin, structure, and function

    Divisions of Systematic Anatomy

    • Osteology: description of bones and cartilages (support and protection of soft structures)
    • Syndesmology/Arthrology: description of joints (rigid segments of bones)
    • Myology: description of muscles and accessory structures (putting bones and joints into motion)
    • Splanchnology: description of viscera (digestive, respiratory, urogenital apparatus, peritoneum, and ductless glands)
    • Angiology: description of organs of circulation (heart, arteries, veins, lymphatics, and spleen)
    • Neurology: description of nervous system (control and coordination of organs and structures)
    • Sense organs: description of eyes and ears (relating individual to environment)
    • Common integuments: description of skin and associated structures (temperature regulation and protection of inner structures)

    Directional Terms and Planes

    • Cranial: direction toward the head
    • Caudal: direction toward the tail
    • Rostral and caudal: terms for direction within the head (toward the nose or tail)
    • Median plane: passes through the body craniocaudally, dividing it into equal right and left halves
    • Sagittal plane: any plane parallel to the median plane
    • Transverse plane: at right angles to the median plane, dividing the body into cranial and caudal parts
    • Frontal plane: at right angles to both median and transverse planes, dividing the body into dorsal and ventral segments
    • Dorsal: pertains to the back or upper surface of the animal
    • Ventral: pertains to the undersurface of the animal
    • Medial: relates to the middle or center, nearer to the median or midsagittal plane
    • Lateral: opposite to medial, away from the median plane
    • Superficial: pertains to the surface or a structure situated near the surface
    • Deep (Profundus): refers to a structure situated at a deeper level in relation to a specific reference point
    • Proximal: nearest the center of the body or point of origin
    • Distal: relatively further from the center of the body
    • Palmar and plantar: caudal surface of the forelimb and hindlimb, respectively
    • Prone: position with dorsal aspect of the body or extremity uppermost
    • Supine: position with ventral aspect of the body or extremity uppermost

    Anatomical Variations

    • Principle of Zygomorphism: animal can be divided into right and left halves or antimeres
      • Paired or homotypical organs (superficial and deep)
      • Unpaired organs (unilateral or single median structure)
    • Principle of Metamerism: serial (segmental) homology, organs or structures arranged according to linear, longitudinal series
    • Principle of Tubulation: presence of dorsal tube (neural tube) and ventral tube (gut) in vertebrates
    • Principle of Stratification: arrangement of organs and their parts in layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm)### Osteon Bone and Logos Study (Study of Bones)
    • Bones or Osseous tissue: hard, semi-rigid, calcified connective tissue forming the skeleton.
    • Skeleton: framework of hard structures that supports and protects soft tissues of animals.

    Classification of Bones (according to shape)

    • Long bones: elongated cylindrical form with enlarged extremities (e.g., limb bones).
    • Short bones: similar dimensions in length, breadth, and thickness (e.g., carpus and tarsus).
    • Flat bones: large area for muscular attachments and protection of organs (e.g., scapula, some skull bones, os coxae, and ribs).
    • Irregular bones: varied functions; support and ligamentous attachment (e.g., vertebrae, base of skull, and certain facial bones).

    Specialized Varieties of Bones

    • Sesamoid bones: found within tendons to prevent injury and increase leverage exerted by muscles (e.g., patella, fabellae, and navicular bone).
    • Splanchnic bones: develop in soft organs, remote from the rest of the skeleton.
    • Pneumatic bones: in the skull, containing paranasal sinuses that communicate with nasal cavities.

    Chemical and Physical Properties of Bone

    • Composition in 100 parts of ox bone of average quality:
