Now in its Fifth Edition, Functional Anatomy and Physiology of Domestic Animals provides a basic understanding of domestic animal anatomy and physiology, taking an interconnected approach to structure and function of the horse, dog, cat, cow, sheep, goat, pig, and chicken. Offers a readable introduction to basic knowledge in domestic animal anatomy and physiology Covers equine, canine, feline, bovine, ovine, ruminant, swine, and poultry anatomy and physiology Considers structure and function in relation to each other for a full understanding of the relationship between the two Provides pedagogical tools to promote learning, including chapter outlines, study questions, self-evaluation exercises, clinical correlates, key terms, suggested readings, and a robust art program Includes access to a companion website with video clips, review questions, and the figures from the book in PowerPoint
his book is an excellent introductory course in physiology for the student in agricultural science, veterinary technology, and pre-veterinary medicine. It provides in-depth coverage of eight species, including horse, dog, cat, cow, sheep, goat, pig, and chicken. The latest edition is extensively revised, and features 133 newly created original drawings that capture the essence of physiologic concepts, and allow the reader to compare. Each chapter is followed by self-assessment and review questions, and at the back of the book readers will find answers to these questions as well as expanded explanations, providing a handy reference and study guide. The second edition provides augmented coverage of avian physiology, and a new chapter on bone has been added, with comprehensive presentation of the skeleton for each of the species.

This is a major revision and redesign of a classic work in the field of veterinary medicine first published by Cornell University Press in 1933. For the Twelfth Edition of Dukes' Physiology of Domestic Animals, William O. Reece has overseen the writing of an essentially new book that retains what was best about its predecessors. Long a standard text for veterinary practitioners and other professionals who seek to refresh their knowledge of particular subjects, Dukes' Physiology of Domestic Animals will now appeal to a new generation of students of veterinary medicine and animal science and to biomedical researchers. Section editors known for their scientific expertise and teaching skill over...

Blopd circulation and the cardiovascular system. Respiration. Digestion, absorption, and metabolism. Minerals, bones, and joints. Water balance and excretion. Skeletal muscle, the nervous system, temperature regulation, and special senses. Endocrinology, reproduction, and lactation.
Anatomy and physiology are key foundational areas of study for animal science students and professionals. Understanding these guiding principles will provide students with a better understanding of complex make-up of domestic animals and continued success in further study in this field. Anatomy and Physiology of Domestic Animals provides a thorough, systems-based introduction to anatomy and physiology of a wide range of domestic animal species. Each chapter is highly illustrated to provide useful examples of concepts discussed.
