Description
Summary:Was made the research of the skin in 34 dogs at the age from the date of birth up to 10 years old (eight neonates, nine 3-4 months old puppies, eight 6-8 years old dogs and also nine 9-10 years old dogs). For the trials the specimens from different topographic and anatomical regions were selected and they were tested by histological methods according to the classical methods basing on the investigations made we can conclude that the skin is flexible and has high adaptive potentials. At the same time it has species specific features stipulated by the genetically fixed character of morphogenesis which determines construction peculiarities of the connective tissue in compliance with biomechanics requirements of the animal habitat.
