General Structure Bitch
- Usually 10 mammary complexes.
- Arranged in two bilaterally symmetrical rows.
- Extend from the ventral thoracic to inguinal region.
N.B: Not always symmetrical and number of complexes may vary 8-12.
General Structure Cat
- Usually 8 mammary complexes.
- Arranged in two bilaterally symmetrical rows.
- Extend from the ventral thoracic to abdominal region.
General Structure Carnivore
- Each mammary complex consists of 5-20 mammary units and their corresponding ducts.
- Ducts open separately on the tip of the teat.
- Shallow grooves indicate the border between complexes.
- Intermammary Sulcus divides the right from the left row.
