8. Cervical segment of vertebral column, dorsal (left) and ventral (right)

9. Thoracic part of vertebra, left view

11. Skeleton part of lumbar vertebrae, Dorsolateral view

13. Skeleton trunk, Dorsal view Skeleton trunk, Ventral view

14. Pairs of rib: 13 pairs (sternal and asternal ribs) Ribs longer, wider, flatter, less curve, and less regular in form 1 st rib Longer, flattened along other domesticated animals 8 th , 9 th and 10 th rib Longest ribs and widest of all

15. Thoracic Skeleton, Left view

16. Sternum Consists of 7 sternebrae, most of which are developed from 2 lateral centers Thorax Its body is shorter than in the horse. The inlet is higher. The roof is short and the floor is wider and larger

17. Bovine Skull, Left view

18. Bones of the Cranium paired bones: interparietal, parietal, frontal, temporal unpaired bone: occipital Bones of the Facial paired bones: maxilla, premaxilla, palatine, pterygoid, nasal, lacrimal, mandible unpaired bones: vomer, hyoid Occipital bone Forms the larger part of the posterior surface of the skull, and is separated from the highest part by the parietal and interparietal bone

19. Median Section of Skull

20. Sphenoid Is short Frontal Very extensive, forming about ½ of the entire length of the skull Maxilla Shorter but broader and relatively higher than in horse

21. Skull, view of caudal surface

22. Premaxilla It is thin and flattened. Has no alveoli since the canine and upper incisor teeth is absent Palatine It is very extensive. Horizontal part forms the greater hard palate Mandible 2 halves don’t fuse completely. The mandibular symphysis is absent
