Anatomical planes of the pes region of Zebu bulls. View A shows the planes of the transverse anatomic reference of the right pes region (transverse sectional anatomy and CT scans). Fourteen serial transverse sections were cut starting from the level of the tibiotarsus joint (Fig. 3A and B) and continuing distally until the level of the middle of the third phalanx (Fig. 9). View B shows the planes of the sagittal anatomic reference of the left pes region of Zebu bulls (sagittal sectional anatomy and CT scans). One sagittal section was cut at about the midline of the specimen (Fig. 10A–C)
