• Comparative Anatomy of Mammary Glands:
• Cat (Queen): Normally possesses 4 pairs (8 mammae) arranged symmetrically in two ventral rows (2 thoracic pairs and 2 abdominal pairs).
• Bitch: 5 pairs (10 mammae) or 4 pairs.
• Cow: 4 glands (1 pair of fore, 1 pair of rear quarters).
• Ewe / Doe / Mare: 2 glands (1 pair).
• Sow: 6–7 pairs (12–14 mammae).
• nalysis:
• (Eight): Correct number in cats.

Correct option: (3) Eight

• Vertebral Ligaments in Domestic Animals:
• The Dorsal Longitudinal Ligament (Ligamentum longitudinale dorsale) runs along the floor of the vertebral canal on the dorsal surface of the vertebral bodies from the axis to the sacrum.
• It is particularly strong, thick, and wide in the thoracic region, where it reinforces the intervertebral discs against intense compressive and rotational forces exerted by the rib cage and locomotion.
• nalysis:
• (Thoracic area): Correct.

Correct option: (1) Thoracic area

• Arthrology of the Elbow Joint (Articulatio cubiti):
• Formed by the articulation between the distal trochlea of the humerus and the proximal head of the radius and semilunar notch of the ulna.
• Functionally and structurally classified as a Hinge Joint (Ginglymus), permitting movement strictly in one sagittal plane (flexion and extension).
• nalysis:
• (Hinge joint): Correct.

Correct option: (2) Hinge joint

• Suture Material Categorization:
• Polyglycolic acid (Dexon): Synthetic Absorbable (III) braided polymer degraded by non-enzymatic chemical hydrolysis.
• Stainless steel: Synthetic / Metallic Non-absorbable (IV) monofilament or twisted wire offering maximum tensile strength.
• Umbilical tape: Woven unbleached cotton tape, classified as Natural Non-absorbable (II).
• Fascia lata: Biological connective tissue graft, classified as Natural Absorbable (I).
• Matching Result:
• (III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I). Hence, Option 4 is correct.
