Book description
Anatomy and Physiology for Veterinary Technicians and Nurses: A
Clinical Approach is a comprehensive resource on the anatomy and
physiology of dogs and cats, with comparisons to horses, birds,
and ruminants. Organized by body system with a comparative approach,
the book follows a unique format by addressing anatomy separately from
physiology for clarity and improved comprehension. Each anatomy
chapter has a corresponding physiology chapter, complete with
illustrations, charts, and boxes to promote understanding.
Written specifically for veterinary technicians and nurses, the book
applies anatomy and physiology to clinical practice, with case
examples demonstrating clinical relevance. The figures from the book,
additional questions and answers, labeling quizzes, teaching
PowerPoints, and a dissection video are available online at www. wiley.

normal structure and function is a must-have resource for students of
veterinary technology and nursing, as well as a useful quick review
for the busy professional.
