study of why animals do what they do

behavior that is programmed

do an undesirable, they won't do it again

feeding and drinking->hunting, chasing, chewing-> possessive behaviors and begging

desecration and urination-> circling, scratching the ground with back legs, lifting legs or squatting-> housebreaking, submission, or marking

investigating-> sniffing, pawing, searching-> pulling on a leash

playing boo, chase, fetch, tug of war-> play nipping, mouthing

following, staying close, escaping, searching, vocalizing-> leads to separation anxiety

loose connective tissue

dense connective tissue

types of bones(6)

expanded in two directions to provide maximum area of muscle attachment

shaft with two ends

cuboid and located at complex joints

irregular shape

tiny and along tendons

contain air spaces

where bone forms a joint with another bone

large convex articular surface found on distal ends of long bones

hole in blood where vessels and nerves usually pass

depression in bone occupied by muscle and tendon

flat, smooth, articular surface, such as surface of tarsal/carpal bones

spherical projection found at ends of limb bones

narrow area in middle

process, tuber, tubercle, tuberosity, trochanter

hold bones together but don't allow movement

allow slight rocking movement

allow free movement in several directions
