Synopsis

Veterinary Anatomy & Physiology: A Clinical Laboratory Manual, 2E is designed as a lab manual for veterinary technology and pre-veterinary medicine students who possess a basic knowledge of biology. It is the only comparative veterinary anatomy and physiology manual that covers cat dissection, sheep heart, brain and eye, and the pig's kidney. Veterinary Anatomy & Physiology: A Clinical Laboratory Manual, 2E also covers the muscular, digestive, respiratory, cardiovascular, urinary, reproductive, endocrine and nervous systems, as well as the skeletal anatomy of many species and the histology of tissues. This book's introduction to laboratory equipment and techniques will prepare readers for lab work. Each chapter includes a physiology experiment to help illustrate some of the principles of physiology covered in the lecture portions of the course instruction.
