The Seventh Edition of Anatomy and Physiology of Farm Animals is a thoroughly updated and revised version of this classic text. Drawing on current science and terminology with a number of new illustrations throughout and a new chapter on poultry, the book maintains its reputation for clarity, balanced scope, and breadth of content. The Seventh Edition provides veterinary, animal science, agriculture, and veterinary technician students with a comprehensive yet clear reference to understanding the fundamentals of anatomy and physiology.
This informative text also offers a number of features designed to enhance student learning and comprehension, including clinical extracts and a glossary of commonly used abbreviations. Cellular and molecular mechanisms in physiological processes are emphasized, with a focus on the relationship between these mechanisms and clinical signs. Drawing on current science and terminology, the seventh edition's efficient approach to the subject ensures its usefulness well beyond the classroom.
