the femoral vein, and the medial saphenous vein (Figure 3.15).

      The cephalic veins are located on the anterior surface of the forearm. They run from the dorsomedial foreleg proximally along the foreleg. They are easy to locate and very accessible for venipuncture. The cephalic vein is used for collection of large volumes of blood in larger dogs.

      The lateral saphenous veins are small, superficial veins that run diagonally across the lateral surface of the distal part of the tibia.

      The jugular veins are large superficial veins located on either side of the trachea on the neck.

      The femoral vein is used for blood collection in cats and extends from the groin on the medial aspect of the thigh.

       Lumbodorsal or dorsal lumbar muscle – located on either side of the midline.

       Triceps – located caudal to the humerus.

       Quadriceps – located anterior to the femur.

       Biceps – the posterior muscle of the hind leg.

       Semimembranosus/semitendinosus muscle group – located in the rear leg, also known as the hamstring muscles.

      Digestive system

      The kidneys are bean‐shaped structures designed to excrete urea, uric acid, and other wastes. The bladder is a small, balloon‐shaped structure that serves as a receptacle for fluid to be eliminated, and the urethra is the canal that carries the urine from the bladder. The urine enters the ureters, which are long tubes that funnel urine down into the bladder.
