The Essentials
by Thomas O. McCracken
Color Atlas of Small Animal Anatomy includes the anatomy of all organ systems in the dog, cat, rabbit, rat and guinea pig.
Color Atlas of Small Animal Anatomy depicts topographic relationships of major organs in a simple, yet technically accurate presentation that's free from extraneous material so that those using the atlas can concentrate on the essential aspects of anatomy.
Learning features:
- carefully selected labeling helps readers learn and remember structures and relationships
- male and female of species are depicted on facing pages so topographic anatomy can be compared
- structures common to various animals are labeled several times, whereas unique structures are labeled on one or two species so readers can make rapid distinctions of the structures peculiar to certain animals
