• Simple Anatomy of Cats Digestive tract

    The stomach has pylorus and this gets united with small intestine, which also has outlet through bile duct and pancreatic duct. The small intestine is followed by large intestine.

    In basic cat anatomy, small intestine is most important due to its significant physiological function. The food from mouth is passed on to the esophagus and then, it enters into the cardia, then into the body of stomach. From pylorus of stomach, entry of food materials is straight to the duodenum, which is followed by the jejunum, ileum and finally, the intestinal segments.

  • Anatomy of Cats Tongue

    Cats are known for their cleanliness, spending many hours licking their coats. The cat's tongue has backwards-facing spines about 500 micrometres long, which are called papillae. These are quite rigid, as they contain keratin. These spines allow cats to groom themselves by licking their fur, with the rows of papillae acting like a hairbrush.

    A Cats Tongue is extremely versatile and an essential part of the cat's anatomy. It is far more important to her/him than it is for us humans.

  • Cat Skeleton

    Skeleton and muscles form the important anatomical structures in cat’s body. The cat owners should know the basic anatomical facts on these structures. Nuchal crest is well developed in cats, unlike man and similarly, at the point of symphysis; the mandibular structures are easily separable.

    Thirty five to forty separate skull bones are present in cats. The skeleton and muscles comprise the main body regions in cat anatomy.

  • Cat Eye Anatomy

    The eyes allow cats to have a sense of sight. Cat eye anatomy is made up several parts. The main structures include the orbit (which is the bone cavity that the eyeball is in), the eyelids (including a third eyelid), the conjunctiva (thin tissue that lines the eyelid), the eyeball it self, the inside of the eyeball, and lacrimal system (tear glands and tear ducts). There is a lot to cat eye anatomy! The function to the eye is to allow the cat to have vision.

  • Cats Male genital Anatomy

    This page gives you information about cats male genital, parts, names and anatomy.

    The reproductive system of the cat is unique amongst the domestic species in many respects. The system reflects the sexual and population dynamics of wild felids, and domestic breeds of cats have not had the types of selection pressures that face other species. The male reproductive system is to transfer spermatozoa to the female and the size and structure matches this.
     

  • Small Intestine of the cat
    The small intestine is a tube-like structure, which extends between the stomach and large intestine. It is the longest portion of the intestinal tract and is about two and a half times the animal's total body length. An animal twenty-four inches long would have about sixty inches of small intestine.
     
    The small intestine in the cat has three parts. The first portion, which attaches to the stomach, is the duodenum. The middle (and longest) portion is called the jejunum.
  • Normal Pancreas of the cat

    The pancreas is an internal organ that lies by the stomach in a cat.  It has very important hormonal functions, including release of insulin in response to eating.  Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas and can interfere with insulin production resulting in diabetes mellitus.  Sometimes when the inflammation stops, the pancreas will function properly again, but it can also permanently lose its function.
