Description
Anatomy of Domestic Animals. Volume II
Book Summary
This work is a fundamental reference for the study of veterinary anatomy, presenting a complete and updated review of the body structure of the main domestic mammals and birds. The reader will find a detailed and separate analysis of each species, from the horse and the ox to the dog and the cat, facilitating deep and specialized learning. Its functional and didactic approach, together with the inclusion of original research material, makes it an indispensable tool for both academic training and professional practice.
What is it about?
The book addresses the anatomy of domestic animals in a systematic and exhaustive manner. Unlike generalist works, this edition dedicates independent sections to each species, including the horse, ox, sheep, ram, pig, dog, cat, and domestic birds. It delves into the peripheral and autonomic nervous systems, arterial circulation, and the lymphatic system with original research material. Each chapter is enriched with updated bibliography from world literature on the subject and a zoological classification of each species, offering a complete context. The structure allows the reader to focus on the study of a specific species without distraction, as all systems of a single animal are presented in one section.
