Description
The major external body parts and anatomical points of a dog in lateral view.
- Muzzle: The projecting part of the head including the jaws and nose.
- Nose: The moist, pigmented olfactory organ at the tip of the muzzle.
- Stop: The step-down or indentation between the forehead and the muzzle.
- Skull: The upper part of the head between the ears and forehead.
- Ear: The external auditory flap or pinna.
- Neck: The segment connecting the head to the torso.
- Withers: The highest point of the shoulder blades, used to measure a dog's height.
- Back: The dorsal region extending from behind the withers to the loin.
- Loin: The region of the back between the ribcage and the pelvis.
- Croup: The dorsal surface of the pelvis sloping down toward the base of the tail.
- Tail: The flexible caudal appendage extending from the rear of the spine.
- Chest: The deep ventral part of the torso enclosing the heart and lungs.
- Shoulder: The upper forequarter area overlying the scapula.
- Elbow: The joint connecting the upper arm and forearm on the forelimb.
- Pastern: The lower part of the leg between the wrist/carpus and the paw.
- Forepaw: The front foot including digits and pads.
- Abdomen: The ventral underside of the dog between the chest and the pelvis (tuck-up).
- Flank: The fleshy side of the body between the ribs and the hip.
- Stifle: The true knee joint of the hind leg, located between the thigh and shin.
- Hock: The tarsal joint of the hind leg, analogous to the human ankle.
- Hindpaw: The rear foot including digits and pads.

Description
The major organelles and structural components of a eukaryotic animal cell.
- Nucleus: Membrane-bound organelle that stores genetic material and controls cellular activities.
- Nucleolus: Dense region inside the nucleus responsible for ribosome synthesis.
- Nuclear envelope: Double membrane perforated by pores that encloses the nucleus.
- Rough endoplasmic reticulum: Network of folded membranes studded with ribosomes involved in protein processing.
- Smooth endoplasmic reticulum: Tubular membrane system that synthesizes lipids, metabolizes carbohydrates, and detoxifies chemicals.
- Golgi apparatus: Stack of flattened cisternae that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for secretion or delivery.
- Mitochondrion: Organelle that generates most of the chemical energy needed to power cellular reactions through aerobic respiration.
- Lysosome: Membrane-bound vesicle containing digestive enzymes to break down waste and cellular debris.
- Peroxisome: Metabolic organelle that breaks down fatty acids and neutralizes hydrogen peroxide.
- Centrosome: Microtubule-organizing center containing a pair of centrioles involved in cell division.
- Ribosomes: Complexes of RNA and protein that synthesize polypeptides.
- Cytoskeleton: Network of protein filaments and tubules that maintains cell shape and enables internal transport.
- Cytoplasm: Gel-like fluid and suspended components occupying the interior of the cell outside the nucleus.
- Plasma membrane: Phospholipid bilayer that encloses the cell and regulates the movement of substances in and out.
- Vacuole: Small membrane-bound sac used for temporary storage and transport of materials.
