Anatomy of the Rabbit[edit | edit source]
This section covers the anatomy of the rabbit, highlighting each body system and references for normal presenting organs.
Integumentary System[edit | edit source]
The integumentary system is the body's outer layer, consisting of skin, hair, nails, and glands. These structures act as the first line of defense against bacteria and help protect against injury and sunlight. The integumentary system works with other systems to maintain body balance.
Skeletal System[edit | edit source]
The skeletal system provides structural support, protects internal organs, and allows for movement in conjunction with muscles.
Muscular System[edit | edit source]
The muscular system enables locomotion, maintains posture, and supports other bodily functions.
Lymphatic System[edit | edit source]
The lymphatic system helps maintain fluid balance, absorbs fats from the digestive system, and provides immune defense against pathogens.
Respiratory System[edit | edit source]
The respiratory system is responsible for gas exchange, delivering oxygen to the bloodstream, and removing carbon dioxide. Normal rabbit lungs should be bright bubble-gum pink and feel light and fluffy, like marshmallows, when palpated.
Digestive System[edit | edit source]
The digestive system processes ingested food, absorbs nutrients, and eliminates waste. Rabbits are hindgut fermenters, relying on a large cecum for fiber digestion.
