Functional Anatomy and Physiology of Domestic Animals
Wiley-Blackwell (Verlag)
978-1-119-27084-3 (ISBN)
Offers a readable introduction to basic knowledge in domestic animal anatomy and physiology
Covers equine, canine, feline, bovine, ovine, ruminant, swine, and poultry anatomy and physiology
Considers structure and function in relation to each other for a full understanding of the relationship between the two
Provides pedagogical tools to promote learning, including chapter outlines, study questions, self-evaluation exercises, clinical correlates, key terms, suggested readings, and a robust art program
Includes access to a companion website with video clips, review questions, and the figures from the book in PowerPoint
