Anatomy & Physiology

Guide to the Dissection of the Dog

This practical guide facilitates a thorough dissection of the dog to learn basic mammalian structure and specific canine features. Emphasizing anatomical knowledge, each chapter presents self-contained guidance on the dissection of a specific body part, allowing the reader to perform these dissections in any sequence preferred. Descriptions are based on the dissection of embalmed, arterially injected adult dogs of mixed breeds, and the anatomical terms used in the book come from the Nomina Anatmica Veterinaria.

• Content is organized by specific body part to give readers the ability to work in any sequence.
• An introductory chapter explains commonly used terms in anatomy in great detail. It also discusses the moral implications of dissecting dogs for canine gross anatomy, as well as the procedures and guidelines used in dissection.
• A list of figures and tables with page numbers is included in the front of the book.
• A list of references is provided in the back of the book to provide opportunities for further study.

• New CAT scans are provided to show internal anatomical features that can only be seen by this method.
• More than 300 illustrations including new and updated drawings depict each dissection procedure, step-by-step.
• Updated content includes recommendations from individuals in the global veterinary community.

Textbook of Veterinary Anatomy 3rd edition

This clinically-oriented text covers the anatomy of all major species of domestic animals. It provides the general knowledge of mammalian structure that is crucial to the understanding of the other basic sciences, as well as the more detailed information that is directly applicable to the practice of veterinary medicine. Discussing the various body systems, it then offers a working knowledge of them by addressing the regional anatomy of a particular species or group of species.

• Content is divided into two main sections body systems and specific species or group of species for a thorough and more logical study of anatomy.
• All chapters feature a consistent format, offering a simple and even flow of information.
• Color inserts enhance the overall quality of the book and better illustrate various anatomical areas of concern.
• Both small and large animals are covered including the horse, pig, cow, dog, and cat to emphasize features and topics that have direct relevance to clinical work. Also included is a chapter on Avian Anatomy.

Mammalian Anatomy: The Cat

Laboratory Manual for Comparative Veterinary Anatomy & Physiology

An abundance of photos and illustrations help bring to the forefront comparative veterinary anatomy and physiology veterinary technicians and pre-veterinary medicine students. The book covers the muscular, digestive, respiratory, cardiovascular, urinary, reproductive, endocrine and nervous systems. It also covers skeletal anatomy of many species. Each chapter includes a physiology experiment to help illustrate some of the principles of physiology covered in lecture portions of the course instruction. Histology of tissues is also covered in this manual. A basic knowledge of biology is assumed.

Miller's Anatomy of the Dog

Updated to reflect tremendously expanded knowledge of the anatomy of the dog, this new edition describes and illustrates the specific morphology of the dog with some reference to other species. With eight new contributors, this text includes more in-depth understanding of the nervous system, fetal growth, bone formation, the lymphatic system, the organization of the brain, the structure of the eye and ear, and more! No other book on the anatomy of the dog has such up-to-date detail of structure as this third edition.

Functional Anatomy and Physiology of Domestic Animals

This introductory physiology text helps students gain a greater understanding of the purpose for animal body parts and how each functions. Dr. Reece also explains anatomical structure—both gross and microscopic—in order to give pre-veterinary or veterinary tech students the basic foundation they need for future study and practice.

Horse Anatomy: A Coloring Atlas

A valuable resource for: anyone interested in horses, horse owners and riders, 4-H club members & leaders, veterinary technicians, equine practitioners, farriers, farm managers, riding instructors, trainers, equine science students, livestock judging teams, educational groups. *A pleasant and rewarding way to learn *Easy-to-understand, in-depth exploration of horse anatomy *Clear, understandable definitions are keyed to daily practical application *Medically correct terminology so you can communicate accurately with professional horsemen *Unique, user-friendly, and superbly illustrated

Clinical Anatomy & Physiology for Veterinary Technicians

Veterinary technicians must have a solid grasp of the underlying science in their field, and anatomy and physiology is a key component of the veterinary technology curriculum. CLINICAL ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY FOR THE VETERINARY TECHNICIAN is the first comprehensive work designed to cover clinically relevant A&P content. Written by veterinary technician educators at a level appropriate for students, it covers dogs, cats, horses, and cattle, integrated throughout each chapter. A separate chapter at the end of the book is devoted to birds.

Animal Physiology

Animal Physiology presents all the branches of modern animal physiology with a strong emphasis on integration among physiological disciplines, ecology, and evolutionary biology. The book takes an entirely fresh approach to each topic. Its full-color illustrations include many novel, visually effective features to help students learn. Each of the 28 chapters starts with a brief animal example to engage student interest and demonstrate the value of the material that will be learned. The book includes five entire chapters that apply students' newfound physiological knowledge to curiosity-provoking and important topics, including diving by marine mammals, the mechanisms of navigation, and use/disuse effects in muscle. The book is committed to a comparative approach throughout. While mammalian physiology is consistently treated in depth, emphasis is also given to the other vertebrate groups, arthropods, molluscs, and-as appropriate-additional invertebrates. Concepts and integrative themes are emphasized while giving students the specifics they need. The whole animal is the principal focus of this book. The pages are filled with information on everything from knockout mice and enzyme chemistry to traditional organ physiology, phylogenetic analysis, and applications to human affairs. Always, the central organizing principle for the array of topics presented is to understand whole animals in the environments where they live. Concepts from chemistry, physics, and mathematics are explained so the book will be accessible to science students at the sophomore or higher level. Neurophysiological and other complex principles are developed clearly and carefully, to help students understand important concepts in sufficient depth without being overwhelmed. Pedagogical aids include embedded summaries throughout chapters, study questions, partially annotated reference lists, an extensive glossary, and appendices. For all three authors, teaching physiology to undergraduate students has been a lifelong priority. The opening three chapters provide background material on physiological basics, cell-molecular concepts, transport of solutes and water, ecology, and evolutionary biology. The remaining chapters are organized into five sections:

Food, Energy, and Temperature
Integrating Systems
Muscle and Movement
Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, and Internal Transport
* Water, Salts, and Excretion
