The human female reproductive system consists of the gonads, external genitalia and the Müllerian duct system. [28] Initially in the embryo, both the Wolffian (mesonephric) and Müllerian (paramesonephric) ducts are present, where development of the Wolffian ducts give rise to the male reproductive tract and development of the Müllerian ducts ...

Two cats sharing body heat. The normal body temperature of a cat is between 38.3 and 39.0 °C (100.9 and 102.2 °F). [16] A cat is considered febrile (hyperthermic) if it has a temperature of 39.5 °C (103.1 °F) or greater, or hypothermic if less than 37.5 °C (99.5 °F). For comparison, humans have an average body temperature of about 37.0 ...
The disorder leaves the cat with a full-size body, but disproportionately short and thick legs. Dwarf cats often suffer from spinal disorders, such as lordosis (excessive curvature of the spine) and pectus excavatum (hollowed chest).
