# Taxonomy Dogs
Canis familiaris
26
# Taxonomy Felines
Felis Catus
27
# Taxonomy Fish
Danio rerio
28
# Anatomy and Physiology Mice and Rats | Teeth
* One pair of upper and lower incisors * Three upper and lower molars on each side * No deciduous (baby) teeth * Incisors grow throughout life and must be worn down through chewing
29
When incisors are not in proper alignment
Malocclusion - typically due to over growth
30
# Anatomy and Physiology Mice | Digestion
* Salivary Glands: parotid gland, sublingual gland, submandibular glad * Mice have a forestomach and a gladular stomach separated by the limiting ridge (margo plicatus) * Mice do not vomit
31
# Anatomy and Physiology Mice | Sexing
* Sex determined by anogenital distance * Distance is greater in females and becomes more prominant with age
32
# Anatomy and Physiology Mice | Reproduction
* Puberty around 5 weeks (females earlier than males) * 4-5d cycle * 19-21d gestation * Females have a post partum estrus 14-28 hours after parturition * Males produce mucous plug after mating
33
# Behavior Mice
* Mice are nocturnal animals * Constantly active * barbering: chewing off fur of cage mates
34
# Signs of Pain, Distress, or Illness Mice
* Ruffled fur * hunched posture * dehydration * inactivity * weight loss * Porphyrin stains
35
Most commonly used lab animal?
Mice
36
# Anatomy and Physiology Rats | Digestion
* rats do not have a gallbladder * rats do not vomit
37
# Anatomy and Physiology Rats | Sexing
Anogenital distance
38
# Anatomy and Physiology Rats | Reproduction
* Puberty around 40 days * 4-5d estrous * 21-23d gestation * post-partum estus 48 hours after parturition
39
# Behavior Rats
* nocturnal * fighting and barbering is less of an issue in rats
40
# Signs of pain illness or distress Rats
* hunched posture * dehydration * Ruffled fur * inactivity * weightloss * porphyrin
41
# Common uses Rats
* depression * toxicology and birth defects * immuological studies * Aging research | 2nd most commmon lab animal model
42
# Anatomy and Physiology Gerbils
Both sexes have a ventral marking gland controlled by reproductive hormones
43
# Anatomy and Physiology Common afflictions
Cavities and seizures
44
# Anatomy and Physiology Gerbils | Sexing
Anogenital distance
45
# Anatomy and Physiology Gerbils | Reproduction
* Puberty around 70 days * females can have 7 or more litters in her lifetime * monogamous mating produces best results - fighting can occur when establishing mating pairs * 4-6d estrous * 24-26d gestation * makes will "thump" while mating * oviarian cysts are common * do not disturb nest
46
# Behavior Gerbils
* least agressive of lab rodents * clean and curious * Activity peaks in middle of dark cycle * require deep nesting materials
47
# Anatomy and Physiology Hamsters | Cheeck pouches
* store food bedding and pups * Lack lymphatic vessels making hamsters ideal fro studies of tumor and tissue transplants
48
# Anatomy and Physiology Hamsters | Digestion
* 2 compartment stomach - nongladular forstomach acts likea rumen * Intestinal tract has delicate microflora * NEVER use penicillin * Good model for studying intestinal illness
49
# Anatomy and Physiology Hamsters | Hibernation
* hiberbtate at 5C or 41F
50
# Anatomy and Physiology Hamsters | Sexing
* Testes give rear a pointed apperance * Flank glands are thoguht to play a role in sexual attraction
51
# Anatomy and Physiology Hamsters | Reproduction
* Should be left alone 7 days after parturition * Puberty at 4 weeks * 4-5 day estrous * 15-18d gestation
52
# Behavior Hamsters
* Extremely agressive * Active at night * good at escaping * fastidious animals
53
# Oftenn used in : Guinea Pigs
* Diagnose infectious diseases * Diabetes * Nutrition * Dermatology
54
# Anatomy and Physiology Guinea Pigs | Teeth
* teeth similar to mice and rats but incisors AND molars continue to grow
55
# Anatomy and Physiology Guinea Pigs | Digestion
* Produce large quantities of feces and cages must be cleaned often * urine is creamy and white * sensitive to antiobiotics * do not vomit
56
# Anatomy and Physiology Guinea Pigs | Sexing
Males have a dot on top of Y testes move freely btw scrotum and abdomen
57
# Anatomy and Physiology Guinea Pigs | Reproduction
* can have up to 5 litters per year * Can not be bred for first time after 7 months of age * 13-21D estrous * 59-72d gestation * precocial
58
# Behavior Guinea Pigs
* Waste large amounts of feed * Barbering is common * like to clog water bottles
59
# Signs of P,I,D Guinea Pigs
* Hunched posture * Licking/biting * pacing * restlessness * shrieking * ruffled fur
60
# Fun Facts Guinea Pigs
* no noticable circadian patterns * susceptable to respiratory disease * develop habits * sensitive to humidity extremes * love to hide
61
62
# Anatomy and Physiology Rabbits | Repro
* induced ovulaotrs * 28-35d gestation
63
# Anatomy and Physiology Rabbits
* Nictating membrane * Highly vascularized ears for thermoregualtion * Continous teeth growth - 2 lower incisors 4 upper * skeleton is only 8% of bw
64
# Anatomy and Physiology Rabbits | Digestion
* hind gut fermenters * cannot vomit * cecotrophy
65
# Main uses Rabbits
Antibody production
66
# Uses in Research NHP
* Cancer * HIV * Neurosciences * Transplant * Vaccine development
67
Old world Mokenys
Noses: short w narrow nostrils Tails: lack prehensile tails Have cheek pouches and ischial callosities
68
New World Monkeys
Noses: broad and flat Tails: can have prehensile tails
69
# Behavior NHP
* Social animals - oftern groom eachother * Display agression through posture and facial expression Agressive behavior: Staring, showing teeth Submissive behavior: Showing rump
70
# Behavior Sheep
* cannot become feral * Gragarious * will over eat
71
