Veterinary anatomy of domestic mammals

Anatomy is the foundation of medicine. Rapid development in diagnostic imaging such as ultrasound, CT and MRI necessitates early and thorough training of veterinary medical students, who are now required in their preclinical studies to familiarise themselves not only with radiographs but also with sectional imaging. Many veterinarians in practice also need to update their knowledge which had been based on classical training in systematic and topographical anatomy. The Third Edition of this textbook has been completely revised, with a new chapter on topographical-clinical anatomy, plus an updated introductory chapter including new sections on the history of veterinary anatomy and general anatomy. All anatomical Illustrations are now in full colour. Multidisciplinary aspects are now highlighted in regard to related morphology and physiology, and to their clinical relevance. To help veterinary students with exam preparation, summary tables and colour-tinted boxes have been added throughout the text. This textbook for everyday use in study and practice features: Enhanced illustration of sectional anatomy using ultrasound, CT and MRI imaging New chapter on „Topographical-clinical anatomy“ emphasising its clinical relevance Updated sections on „The History of Veterinary Anatomy“ and „General Anatomy“ Use of the newest (5th) edition of the Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria (NAV)
