About This Book

The work provides a concise, practical guide to veterinary anatomy, systematically treating bones, joints, and muscles before examining the viscera, circulatory and nervous systems, organs of special sense, and embryonic development. It emphasizes descriptive definitions, comparative concepts such as analogy and homology, and dissection techniques for familiarizing practitioners with normal organ structure and function. Anatomical plates illustrate skeletal, muscular, digestive, cardiovascular, nervous and hoof structures, with focused descriptions of equine anatomy. Entries aim to describe healthy morphology and physiological roles in a compact form suitable for quick reference by students and clinicians.

PREFACE

There are a number of excellent works on Veterinary Anatomy, and many of them will amply repay the student for the time taken to master them, but for quick reference none seem to contain the wants of the veterinary practitioner and student for which this humble little work is primarily intended.

It has been my endeavor to briefly describe each organ as found in the healthy animal; its functions, etc., in a condensed yet complete form. I am positive that the student or veterinary practitioner will find its pages highly instructive as well as profitable and interesting.

In compiling this work a few authorities have been consulted and quoted, while it has not been practical to give individual credit for the use of ideas and language, a general acknowledgement is here made:

Veterinary Science, Hodgins and Haskett.

Veterinary Anatomy, Strangeways.
