Anatomy & Physiology

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.

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.

Following a body systems approach, this laboratory manual is designed to be compatible with any introductory anatomy and physiology text. It includes exercises which encourage microscopic examinations of cells, observe chemical reactions, perform dissections, record data and analyze results.

Saunders Veterinary Anatomy Coloring Book includes approximately 300 illustrations to study and color. The coloring book helps you memorize the anatomy content you need to know in both veterinary medicine and veterinary technology and gives you a fun way to review the information you have studied. All illustrations in the book are suitable for coloring and are of the highest quality, created by expert medical illustrators.

Organized by body region, the book is divided into sections devoted to the head and neck; neck, back, and vertebral column; thorax; abdomen; pelvis; forlimb; and hindlimb.

Numbered lead lines clearly identify structures to be colored and correspond to a numbered list beneath the illustration so you can easily visualize the veterinary anatomy. Plus, you can create your own "color code" using the numbered boxes provided for each illustration.

• Comprehensive veterinary anatomy coverage helps you reinforce your understanding of canine, feline, equine, porcine, ruminants, and avian anatomy.
• High quality illustrations make it easy for you to color in each anatomic region and review anatomic details.
• Self-study format provides a fun and interactive way to prepare for exams throughout your veterinary courses.
• Part of Elsevier's complete veterinary anatomy learning system, integrating core anatomy knowledge, engaging review, hands-on practice, and clinical application to give you a solid foundation for success!

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 colour illustration program includes 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 training/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 principles are developed clearly and carefully, to help students understand important concepts in sufficient depth without being overwhelming. Pedagogical aids include embedded summaries throughout chapters, lists of key terms, study questions, partially annotated reference lists, an extensive glossary, and appendices on topics such as units of measure and logarithms. 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
