One of a series on veterinary anatomy for veterinary students and practising veterinarians, this book deals with the anatomy of the horse. Features of topographical anatomy are presented in colour photographs and accompanying line-drawings of detailed dissections. When necessary, information needed for the interpretation of the photographs is given in the captions.
Each section begins with photographs of regional surface features before dissection. Pictures of an articulated equine skeleton illustrate the important palpable bony features of these regions.
The aim of the dissections and photographs is to reveal the topography of the animal as it would be presented to the veterinary surgeon during a routine clinical examination.
