By Lori Asprea
Anatomy and Physiology for Veterinary Technicians and Nurses 2nd Edition 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..

Features
Features:
- 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
