Single Charts |
Canine Muscle Anatomy Chart
Clearly labeled side, front and rear views of canine muscles make it easy to find and intentionally massage a muscle or locate an acupressure point.

Canine Skeleton Anatomy Chart
Labeled side, front and rear views of the canine skeleton allow easy location of boney landmarks so important in determining the origin and insertion of muscles and in locating acupoints.

Canine Circulatory System Chart
Two diagrams illustrate the major arteries and veins. Circulation of blood through the major organs of the canine body is also illustrated.
|
 |
|
Canine Nervous System Chart
Major nerves of the peripheral nervous system of the dog are clearly labeled. A dermatome map depicts each dermatome and indicates the spinal nerve that innervates it. A neuromuscular junction is also illustrated. The detailed and labeled structure of the neuromuscular junction make it easy to understand how nerve interacts with muscle to innervate movement.
