A

.Arrector pili muscles

18
Q

Located in the dermis and releases sebum.

A

Sebaceous glands

19
Q

An oily, fatty substance mixed with cell debris

A

Sebum

20
Q

AKA, Sweat Glands. Can be found on most domestic species covering the entire body.

A

Sudoriferous glands

21
Q

An area abundant in apocrine and sebaceous glands, both of which are reactive to hormones that make them especially active during puberty and estrous. Tail glands are thought to help in animal identification.

A

22
Q

Connected to the anus with a small single, duct. The stinky substance produced in anal sacs is expressed during defecation and when an animal gets frightened. They serve to mark, identify and attract a mate.

Dewclaws are the remains of digits that have regressed in the course of evolution. In dogs, the dewclaw is the first digit, but actual bones are only found in the forelimbs. In cattle, pigs, and sheep the medial and lateral dewclaws are the second and fifth digits, respectively

26
Q

Do all Dewclaws contain bones?

A

No, dogs have actual bones in the dewclaws of their forelimbs and in pigs, both phalangeal and metacarpal bones are both present but not used

27
Q

Which digits do ruminants stand on?

A

In ruminants, only the third and fourth digits are weight bearing

28
Q

How many Hooves do ruminants have?

A

While ruminants only bear weight on the second and fourth digits, the first and fifth digits are still present as dewclaws, meaning that there are a total of 4 hooves.

29
Q

Which digit do Equine stand on?

Q

What is a Corium?

A

The corium is a modified dermis

Coronary corium
Sole corium
Frog corium

32
Q

Provides nutrients to the stratum internum and can be found between the hoof wall and third phalanx
