Muscles attach to bones via tendons. Depending on the breed of dog, they will have different types of muscle fibers. Not only are females generally smaller than males in the dog world; they have a few other differences too. Acetabular Fossa: A non-articular depression portion of the acetabulum used for the attachment of the ligament of the head of the femur. Terms are labeled using the Latin terms defined in the Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria (fifth edition - 2012 by ICVGAN). They have been translated in English and French by Antoine Micheau - MD, Imaios. You will find a deep fossa (intercondyloid fossa) between the dog femur’s lateral and medial condyles (caudally). In addition, the trochlea of the femur possesses a cranial smooth, articular groove or surface for the patella.

Dogs are highly variable in height and weight. The smallest known adult dog was a Yorkshire Terrier that stood only 6.3cm (2.5in) at the shoulder, 9.5cm (3.7in) in length along the head and body, and weighed only 113 grams (4.0oz). The largest known adult dog was an English Mastiff which weighed 155.6kg (343lb). [2] The tallest known adult dog is a Great Dane that stands 106.7cm (42.0in) at the shoulder. [3] Modern dog breeds exhibit a diverse array of fur coats, including dogs without fur, such as the Mexican Hairless Dog. Dog coats vary in texture, color, and markings, and a specialized vocabulary has evolved to describe each characteristic. [20] Tail [ edit ] Infraspinous Fossa: A depressed area caudal to the spine. It serves as a point of attachment for infraspinatus muscle.A dog’s tail serves many functions including counter-balancing the weight of the body when turning at speed. It is also a crucial piece of the puzzle when observing their body language. Dog Paw Anatomy Forelimb Anatomy of a Dog with Digit, Metacarpal and Carpal Pads. Semimembranosus: originates on the ischiatic tuberosity and inserts on the femur and tibia. It acts to extend the hip and stifle. It is innervated by the sciatic nerve.

Ischiatic Arch: Caudal margin of the floor of the pelvis formed by the left and right ischiatic bones. The lateral surface of the humeral body is marked by the tricipital line (anconeal line). This tricipital line start at the head of the dog humerus caudal to greater tubercle ends to the elongated deltoid tuberosity. The musculospiral groove is smooth, flat to convex, and located at the lateral surface of the dog humerus. The patella is the large sesamoid bone in the dog skeleton. The dog patella possesses a base, an apex, and articular surfaces like the patella of a cow or goat. Tibia and fibula bones of dog skeleton Deep gluteal: originates on the ischiatic spine and inserts on the greater trochanter. It acts to extend the hip and rotate the pelvic limb medially. It is innervated by the cranial gluteal nerve. The axial skeleton contains one hundred and thirty-four (134) bones. On the other hand, you will find one hundred and eighty-six (186) bones in the appendicular skeleton. In addition, you will also find one heterotropic bone in the dog skeletal system.The forearm or antebrachium of a dog consists of radius and ulna bone. In addition, you will find the carpals, metacarpals, phalanges of the digits, and palmar sesamoid bones in the forepaw or manus of a dog. Clavicle of dog
