Description should include

• body planes (e.g., sagittal, transverse, dorsal)
• anatomical positioning descriptors (e.g., sternal, lateral, dorsal, ventral)
• relative-positioning (directional) terms (e.g., cranial, caudal, proximal, distal, medial, lateral, ventral)
• species-specific terms (e.g., croup, withers, stifle, dewlap, muzzle, hock, pastern, poll).

Process/Skill Questions:

• How is the anatomy of all animals similar?
• What are some major variations among the anatomies of different animals?
• What is the body cavity that houses the heart and lungs?
• What is the body cavity that lies caudal to the thorax?
• How can the distal end of one bone be adjacent to the proximal end of another bone?
• How is anterior and posterior used differently in veterinary medicine vs. human medicine?
