Gross anatomy should begin with developing an appreciation for the organ system's building blocks. Therefore, the first nine chapters have been devoted to describing and explaining differences between the various tissue types. A development basis for anatomy is incorporated throughout the text book. Also, this book richly illustrated with numerous conceptual diagrams that will hopefully help the reader to understand detailed topics, especially related to the more complex nervous systems.

This reference cuts through a mass of anatomical detail to provide a clear guide to the anatomy of the dog and cat that is relevant to the everyday demands of veterinary practice. Color Atlas of Clinical Anatomy of the Dog & Cat, second edition, has: over 275 color photographs of anatomical dissections; more than 75 black and white photographs - radiographs and ultrasonographs; clinical relevance for practicing vets when undertaking surgical procedures; all the information needed for veterinary students, provided in a clear, concise format; both cat and dog dissections, to highlight the key anatomical differences between the two species; and anatomical pictures of fresh, unfixed material to show the normal appearance of the tissues. New material in this edition includes: new "Clinical Notes" boxes to provide more of a link between the dissections and surgical procedures; over 40 completely new ultrasonographs, including new extended field of view modalities; new cross-sectional photographs of specimens to help interpret new diagnostic techniques; lots more material on joints, tendons, and ligaments; more material on the cat; and new ultrasound images of the eye.

Comparative Veterinary Anatomy: A Clinical Approach describes the comprehensive, clinical application of anatomy for veterinarians, veterinary students, allied health professionals and undergraduate students majoring in biology and zoology. The book covers the applied anatomy of dogs, cats, horses, cows and other farm animals, with a short section on avian/exotics, with a focus on specific clinical anatomical topics. The work improves the understanding of basic veterinary anatomy by making it relevant in the context of common clinical problems. This book will serve as a single-source reference on the application of important anatomical structures in a clinical setting. Students, practitioners and specialists will find this information easy-to-use and well-illustrated, thus presenting an accurate representation of essential anatomical structures that relates to real-life clinical situations in veterinary medicine. - Presents multiple species, garnering a broad audience of interest for veterinarians, specialists, professional students, and undergraduate students majoring in the biological sciences - Contains detailed layered color figures at the beginning of each different species section in addition to numerous figures throughout - Focuses on clinically oriented anatomy - Correlates gross anatomy, radiology, ultrasound, CT, MRI and nuclear medicine in clinical case presentations

Focuses on the anatomical study of the cat and the dog, with step-by-step layering of dissections and providing guidance on surgical approaches. Special emphasis is placed on regions of clinical interest throughout.

Clinical Anatomy for Small Animal Practitioners is the first work of its kind, addressing the surface anatomy of the common integument, head, neck, thorax, abdomen, limbs and pelvis, and describing the projection of bones, superficial muscles, vessels, lymph nodes and nerves on the skin. Joined by 17 clinicians, Dr. Constantinescu adds a strong clinical orientation to the descriptive anatomy of the superficial structures of the body. Anatomical structures (of the dog and cat) are described from all perspectives (cranial, caudal, medial, lateral, frontal, dorsal, ventral, palmar, and plantar).
