* '''Udder''' hangs from the caudal abdomen and pelvis.

* '''Quarters''': all four parts of the bovine udder, each associated with one teat. All four quarters are completely separated from each other.

−

* '''Suspensory Apparatus''': organised into lateral and medial laminae which anchor the udder to the body wall by their attachment to the pubic symphysis.

−

** '''Lateral Lamina''': collagen fibres from the fascia of the pubic symphysis and the edge of the superficial inguinal ring.

−

** '''Medial Lamina''': elastic fibres from the tunica flava ventral to the pubic symphysis. Separates the udder into right and left halves.
