About this title

Synopsis

Explore practical anatomy with step‑by‑step dissections and clear dissections of vertebrate and invertebrate models. This edition draws on A Junior Course of Practical Zoology to help readers observe real structures, from the eye and ear to the heart and venous system, through guided, hands‑on procedures.

The book presents accessible, illustrated instructions that guide you through dissecting organisms such as the dog‑fish and the pigeon, highlighting the essential organs and their connections. It emphasizes careful technique and observation, making complex concepts easy to grasp for students and curious readers alike.

• Dissection steps that reveal the eye, ear, heart, and major blood vessels in selected species.


• Traces of the circulatory system, hepatic and renal portal pathways, and key anatomical landmarks.


• Advice on preparation, mounting, and identifying structures with practical notes and measurements.


• Contextual notes that connect anatomy to function, lab technique, and specimen handling.
