About this title

From the Back Cover:

This new third edition provides the reader with a greater understanding of the purpose of animal systems and their functions, resulting in a valuable introductory text for pre-veterinary or veterinary tech students, and for students in animal science-related curricula.

Anatomical structure-both gross and microscopic-is also explored to help the reader build the basic foundation needed for future study and clinical practice.

Features and highlights include:

• 
  
• New introductory chapter on Basics of Structure and Function, with explanations of anatomical terms and orientation.
• 
  
• Logical organization of content according to body systems, with coverage of eight traditional domestic species: horse, dog, cat, cow, sheep, goat, pig and chicken.
• 
  
• Greater coverage of avian-specific physiology to reflect the role of poultry in agriculture and growing public interest in birds as pets.
• 
  
• Expanded range of anatomy-oriented illustrations to convey key concepts effectively-a real benefit for beginning students.
• 
  
• Study aids and self-evaluation sections to help readers prepare for course work and exams.
