Functional Anatomy and Physiology of Domestic Animals

Now in its Fifth Edition, Functional Anatomy and Physiology of Domestic Animals provides a basic understanding of domestic animal anatomy and physiology, taking an interconnected approach to structure and function of the horse, dog, cat, cow, sheep, goat, pig, and chicken.

• Offers a readable introduction to basic knowledge in domestic animal anatomy and physiology

• Covers equine, canine, feline, bovine, ovine, ruminant, swine, and poultry anatomy and physiology

• Considers structure and function in relation to each other for a full understanding of the relationship between the two

• Provides pedagogical tools to promote learning, including chapter outlines, study questions, self-evaluation exercises, clinical correlates, key terms, suggested readings, and a robust art program

• Includes access to a companion website with video clips, review questions, and the figures from the book in PowerPoint

Klappentext
Now in its Fifth Edition, Functional Anatomy and Physiology of Domestic Animals continues the tradition of providing a basic understanding of domestic animal anatomy and physiology. Covering the horse, dog, cat, cow, sheep, goat, pig, and chicken, this classic text takes an interconnected approach to anatomy and physiology for a greater understanding of animal systems. Logically organized by body system, the book is an essential introduction to anatomy and physiology for students in animal science, preveterinary medicine, veterinary technology, and other animal-related programs. Each chapter includes chapter outlines, study questions, self-evaluation exercises, clinical correlates, key terms, and suggested readings to improve learning outcomes, with more than 350 illustrations depicting the concepts described. A companion website offers video clips, review questions, and the figures from the book in PowerPoint. Functional Anatomy and Physiology of Domestic Animals, Fifth Edition offers valuable support for courses teaching anatomy and physiology of domestic animals and as a bridge to more advanced courses in animal science and veterinary medicine.
