Master the cat's anatomy with a hands-on dissection guide that teaches clear, practical methods.
This edition presents the skeleton, vertebral column, muscles, and vascular system alongside practical lab notes. It emphasizes general methods, directional terms, and the use of specimens to explore anatomy without getting bogged down in overly technical details. The book also points to supplementary works for fuller study and provides diagrammatic figures to illustrate key relationships.
What you will experience and learn include:
- Identifying the skull, vertebrae, and major bones that form the axial skeleton
- Tracing the arterial system and major blood vessels from the aorta to the limbs
- Recognizing superficial and deep muscles and their attachments
- Understanding standard anatomical terms and how they apply to the dissection
Ideal for students and instructors beginning studies in comparative anatomy or veterinary-related labs.
