One look is worth a thousand words
You are looking for precise anatomic denomination, but you want more than just a list of terms?
The Illustrated Veterinary Anatomical Nomenclature is based upon the Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria (N. A. V.), a compilation of terms which is published by the World Association of Veterinary Anatomists. In the 4th edition of this benchmark, more than 6500 structures are depicted and defined, aiding the user in understanding anatomy and in clarifying its concepts.
Illustrated Veterinary Anatomical Nomenclature 4th Edition is a reference for teachers, researchers, veterinarians, and students. Its arrangement adheres strictly to the latest, 6th edition of the N.A.V. (2017). It focuses on the anatomical structures of cat, dog, pig, cattle, sheep, goat, horse, and rabbit.
