Informationen zum Autor Robin Sturtz , DVM, is Associate Director of the Veterinary Technology program at Mercy College in Dobbs Ferry, New York and Associate Veterinarian at The Cat Hospital in Williston Park, New York. Lori Asprea , LVT, is a licensed veterinary technologist at Animal Medical Center in New York City, New York. Klappentext Anatomy and Physiology for Veterinary Technicians and Nurses: A Clinical Approach is a comprehensive resource on the anatomy and physiology of dogs and cats, with comparisons to horses, birds, and ruminants. Organized by body system with a comparative approach, the book follows a unique format by addressing anatomy separately from physiology for clarity and improved comprehension. Each anatomy chapter has a corresponding physiology chapter, complete with illustrations, charts, and boxes to promote understanding.Written specifically for veterinary technicians and nurses, the book applies anatomy and physiology to clinical practice, with case examples demonstrating clinical relevance. The figures from the book, additional questions and answers, labeling quizzes, teaching PowerPoints, and a dissection video are available online at www.wiley.com/go/sturtz. This introduction to body system analysis of normal structure and function is a must-have resource for students of veterinary technology and nursing, as well as a useful quick review for the busy professional. "This is an easy-to-navigate, useful resource for veterinary technicians ."
