Now in its Fifth Edition, Functional Anatomy and Physiology of Domestic Animals provides a basic understanding of domestic animal anatomy and physiology, taking an interconnected approach to structure and function of the horse, dog, cat, cow, sheep, goat, pig, and chicken.
* 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

Bericht
'The book has a number of features that help in the delivery and retention of the information. The chapter overviews at the beginning of the chapters and the self-evaluation questions help focus students on the salient points of each unit. Second, the many figures help in explaining the concepts. And, third, the resources the accompanying website provides are relevant to the discussion.
This up-to-date overview of functional anatomy and physiology is a good book for students interested in veterinary sciences or thinking they'd like to pursue veterinary medicine ... it provides a good starting foundation for students serious about pursuing careers in veterinary medicine, where structure and function are central to the curriculum.' Doody's, November 2017
