Comprehensive reference describing in-depth anatomy and histology of the domestic chicken, depicted through high quality macro- and micro-photographs
Anatomy and Histology of the Domestic Chicken is a state-of-the-art atlas of avian anatomy that provides a complete collection of both original gross anatomy and histology photographs and texts of all body systems of the birds based on the domestic chicken to depict anatomic features. Using cutting-edge technology to create visualizations of anatomic structures, this exhaustive reference includes both gross anatomical structures/organs and their histological details next to each other. This approach enables readers to understand the macro- and micro-pictures of each organ/structure under study.
The text includes a total of more than 200 high-resolution, high quality color images and diagrams. Written by two highly qualified professors with significant experience in the field, Anatomy and Histology of the Domestic Chicken includes information on:
- External features of the body, including regions, features, ornaments, shape, feathers, skin, and the uropygial gland
- Musculoskeletal characteristics including cartilage and bone formation and classification, as well as flight and ambulatory muscles
- Digestive system, including the beak, esophagus, crop, proventriculus, ventriculus, intestines, and accessory glands
- Respiratory system, including external nares, nasal cavity, trachea, upper larynx, syrinx, lungs, and air sacs
- Urinary system, including kidneys and the ureter, cloaca-urodeum, and genital system, covering differences between males and females
- Endocrine system, including pituitary, pineal, adrenal, pancreas, thyroid, and parathyroid glands
- Nervous system with central and peripheral divisions and sense organs including eye and ear
- Lymphatic system, with descriptions of the primary and secondary lymphatic organs
- Egg anatomy and development of the chick embryo
- Applied anatomical concepts important for clinical maneuvers and necropsy
Updated anatomy guide for veterinary practitioners and students with case studies, detailed dissection images, and review questions
The Second Edition of Anatomy and Physiology for Veterinary Technicians and Nurses is a comprehensive guide to veterinary anatomy and physiology applicable to clinical practice, with case studies, detailed dissection images, review question, and supporting drawings, tables, and diagrams often overlooked in many comparable lab manuals available.
This new edition consists of twenty-six chapters. It has been reorganized to provide a better flow of chapters and includes new chapters on special senses and sensory physiology as well as extended coverage of feline species. The book has also been updated with relevant diseases in each physiology chapter, more detailed and frequent images, more added online images, and additional study materials for students.
In Anatomy and Physiology for Veterinary Technicians and Nurses, readers will find:
- Matching materials for the physiologic functions of the systems dissected, labeled, and observed to combine both didactic and psychomotor learning concepts
- Information on skeletal, joint, cardiovascular, respiratory, and muscle anatomy as well as the anatomy of the nervous, endocrine, digestive, reproductive, and urinary systems
- Discussion on cells and immunity, functions of common integument, osteology, physiology of joints and muscles, neurophysiology, and renal physiology
- Details pertaining to both mammal and non-mammal species such as avians
- New, detailed case studies and critical thinking questions
The updated edition of Anatomy and Physiology for Veterinary Technicians and Nurses is an essential reference for veterinary technicians and nursing students seeking clear guidance on the subject.
