Anatomy of the beagle in cross-section: head and neck.

The transverse anatomy of the head and neck of the Beagle was studied. Cross-sectional preparations were photographed and compared with computerized tomographic scans, freshly prepared dissection specimens, and with skeletal preparations. Anatomic structures were identified by these means with the aid of anatomy texts. A series of labeled photographs were provided as a basis for interpretation of computerized tomography scans.
