Abstract:

The angora goat Capra hircus has been the main experimental animal used by the Biophysics Division for many years. Knowledge of goat anatomy is important during both the planning and experimental stages of projects. Because no readily usable information on goat anatomy is available, a series of reports on the subject is being prepared. The first in the series described the skeletal anatomy. The present report contains serial cross sections of the angora goat. Part III, Myology, which will describe the muscles on superficial and deep dissection of the head, neck, pectoral, and pelvic limbs, is near completion.
