Cutaneous circulation in dogs, cats and humans. The subdermal plexus is formed and supplied by terminal branches of direct cutaneous vessels at the level of the panniculus carnosus muscle in dogs and cats. Note the parallel relation of the direct cutaneous vessels to the overlying skin. This is unlike the perpendicular orientation of musculocutaneous vessels in the human (modified from Pavletic, 2003).
