A Guide to the Dissection of the Dog (Classic Reprint) Book

The dissection of the dog is best begun with the animal lying on its back. If the subject is a female, the mammary glands should be examined as far as possible before any dissection is carried out.Mamm.k.-The mammary glands of the dog are eight to ten in number, arranged in a double row-often asymmetrical-along the ventral aspect of the thorax and abdomen. When ten glands are present, they can generally be designated as four thoracic, four abdominal, and two pubic.Though nipples are present in both sexes, mammary glands, as such, are seldom demonstrable in the male. Even in the female, except during the period of lactation, the mammce do not generally form very distinct projections.Each nipple (papilla mamma;) is conical in form, covered with hairless skin, and pierced at its apex by numerous (eight to twelve) openings. Each small orifice leads to a milk canal (ductus lactiferus), which traverses the length of the teat from a milk sinus (sinus lactiferus) at its base.DissectionAbout the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
