Abstract
This chapter presents illustrations that are likely to be of practical importance to those working with laboratory mice. The illustrations include the body regions, a simple demonstration of the skeleton, the muscles, and a dissection of the body cavities with description of major organs. The terminology used in the chapter is based on the international veterinary anatomical nomenclature published by Schaller, Constantinescu, Habel, Sack, Simoens, Vos (1992). In the chapter, in the figure captions, XY denotes male and XX denotes female. The figure caption lists the regions of the body such as the face, skull, neck, chest, back, pelvis, cranial abdomen, middle abdomen, caudal abdomen, forelimbs, and hindlimbs.
