Extraordinary accuracy and beautiful original artwork are just two
features readers will find in this new resource, providing a basic
foundation in domestic large animal anatomy. Its unique
organization includes the anatomy of all organ systems in the
various species, described in a consistent manner.
The book presents relevant anatomy of the following
species:
* * Horse (with contributors by Dr. Gayle Trotter)
* Ox (with contributions by Dr. Fran Garry)
* Sheep and goat (with contributions by Dr. Joan Bowen)
* Llama and alpaca (with contributions by Dr. LaRue
Johnson)
* Swine (with contributions by Dr. LaRue Johnson)
* and chicken (with contributions by Dr. John Avens).
Features that enhance understanding:
* * Carefully selected labeling helps students learn and remember
structures and relationships.
* Male and female of a given species are depicted on facing pages
so that topographic anatomy is easy to compare.
* Structures common to various animals are labeled several times,
whereas unique structrur5es are labeled only on one or two species
so students can make rapid distinctions of the structures peculiar
to certain animals.
* An introduction provides readers with a background in
nomenclature and anatomic orientation so they can benefit from the
atlas even if they lack training in anatomy.
The Atlas depicts topographic relationships of major organs in a
simple, yet technically accurate presentation that's free of
extraneous detail so that those using the atlas can concentrate on
the essential aspects of anatomy.
