Summary

This introductory physiology text helps students gain a greater understanding of the purpose for animal body parts and how each functions. Dr. Reece also explains anatomical structure-both gross and microscopic-in order to give pre-veterinary or veterinary tech students the basic foundation they need for future study and practice.Functional Anatomy and Physiology of Domestic Animals is organized according to body systems and covers each of the eight traditional domestic species: horse, dog, cat, cow, sheep, goat, pig, and chicken. Presentations include the systems that are unique to avian physiology. The Third Edition also includes study aids, self-evaluation sections and numerous illustrations to enhance the learning process.
