canine anatomy

Canine anatomy refers to the structure of a dog's body. Dogs have a skeletal system made of bones that support and protect their organs, with a skull housing the brain and sensory organs. Their muscular system enables movement, while the cardiovascular system includes the heart and blood vessels to circulate blood. Lungs and a diaphragm facilitate breathing. The digestive system processes food, from the mouth to the stomach and intestines. Dogs also have sensory organs: sharp ears for hearing, a keen sense of smell, and good vision. Muscles, bones, and organs work together to support their activities and health.
