This is a great reference book. I gave it to my husband who is a vet tech. He keeps it at the clinic so everyone can use it.
finally!

Finally a clear, well written Anatomy & Physiology textbook for Vet Techs! No more interpolating from the human anatomy books. This book is well written, with clear and easily understood illustrations. It may become difficult to find this book "used" in the next few years; it is a book I will keep long after the course is over, to refer to in other classes. The sidebar on nutrition was especially helpful in another class this year.

I'm heading to vet school in the fall and I bought this book to review topics and as a shelf reference. I've been very happy with it. It is well organized and easy to understand.
Excelent book for veterinary technicians and students!

Part of the curriculum required for my veterinary technology degree were classes in human anatomy and physiology. I found this book to be a great way to make the transition from human to animal anatomy and physiology. Species covered include: cats, dogs, horses, cattle, and birds Great for reviewing and reference. Each chapter contains detailed illustrations and diagrams. Clinical applications are included in each chapter that helps connect the topic discussed with real word applications in veterinary medicine.
