Anatomy and physiology of farm animals [PART I]

---

Species Orientation. As in the fi rst six editions, general principles of anatomy and physiology
are discussed as they apply to farm animals. Important species differences are described, with the
most attention given to the horse and the cow. The sheep, goat, and hog are described where
important and relevant species differences exist. When the goat is not mentioned specifi cally, it
may be assumed that the goat is similar to the sheep.

Poultry Chapter. This edition includes a new chapter on anatomy and physiology of poultry.
The chapter discusses all body systems, with an emphasis on anatomical features and physiological
processes unique to birds. This addition further expands the scope of the text and increases its
usefulness to students in a variety of diverse programs of study.

New Art. The art program in the text continues to be revised and enlarged. Approximately 60
new line drawings have been added, and many of these are original to this edition. The use of
radiographic images to illustrate anatomical features is also a new addition to this edition.
Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms. In keeping with current trends in physiology and medicine,
cellular and molecular mechanisms in physiological processes are emphasized, but attempts
are made to illustrate the relationships between these mechanisms and phenomena that can be
observed in intact animals. Where controversial subjects are discussed, the generally accepted view
is given in greatest detail.

Clinical Extracts. Clinical extracts, material especially useful in a clinical setting, are highlighted
in blue throughout the text. These extracts help students understand the practical value of
anatomy and physiology and serve to illustrate mechanistic links between these basic sciences and
clinical conditions.

Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria. Every effort has been made to bring the anatomical nomenclature
used in this text into accordance with the fi fth edition of the Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria.
Exceptions are made only when a different term is in such common usage as to argue for an alternative
name.

Glossary and Terminology. Because abbreviations may be confusing and diffi cult to remember,
a glossary of commonly used abbreviations is included in the appendix. Technical terms are used
throughout the book, but most terms not found in an ord nary college dictionary are defi ned within
the text.
