The cat has been used as a subject for dissection in the study of mammalian anatomy for almost two centuries. The very popular Pictorial Anatomy of the Cat by Stephen G. Gilbert, originally published in 1967 and now in its 12th printing, has been used in countless laboratories as a guide to dissection and supplement to introductory textbooks. Outline of Cat Anatomy is an abridged version of the original guide, modified for practical use in one-semester courses. It employs anatomical terms used in human rather than veterinary anatomy and includes illustrations of human anatomy that may be compared with those of the cat, especially useful for the many students who do not have access to human dissections. Gilberts earlier Pictorial Anatomy of the Cat is "an excellent, well-illustrated dissection guide for use in courses in comparative anatomy. The text is informative and accurate, and instructions for dissection are clear and helpful.... Highly recommended." Choice
Two new laboratory manuals, Pictorial Anatomy of the Dogfish and Pictorial Anatomy of the Necturus, have just been added to the highly acclaimed series of dissection guides by Stephen G. Gilbert. The new manuals contain all the features of those already published and widely adopted as textbooks throughout the English-speaking world: --Realistic illustrations drawn directly from dissections --Integrated text and self-explanatory plates so that no other textbook is required --Complete dissection instructions --Anatomical relationshs fully described and illustrated --Structures indicated by numbers; arteries, veins, and nerves shown in red, blue, and yellow, respectively, for easy identification --Numerous lateral views showing relationships not seen in the standard ventral dissection --Each subject illustrated by a small marginal diagram so that the student never has to turn another page to see an illustration of the subject under discussion
Comprising over 150 individual drawings, Peter C. Goody's book is intended to provide the reader with an understanding of the essential aspects of dog anatomy. Each drawing is fully labelled and annotated.
Rich compendium of 381 royalty-free illustrations selected from rare 19th- and early 20th-century sources. Cats alone, in groups, with children, in costumes, playing cards, catching mice, singing in a choir, running, jumping, more. Add a note of antique feline charm to almost any art or craft project.
This second edition of Horse Anatomy: A Pictorial Approach to Equine Structure has been completely revised and enlarged. Its original 25 pages of illustrations have more than doubled and now include over 250 individual drawings. All of these drawings have been specially prepared for this new edition by John Goody, and all are fully labelled and annotated in the accompanying legends. The text is primarily intended to explain and in many instances to expand upon the content of the drawings. The basic make-up of the horse is considered with the 'points' of the horse being shown from several different views. Bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments providing the anatomical basis for these surface points are dealt with in some detail, the emphasis being placed throughout on those structures that can be seen or felt from the surface of the body. Component parts of the digestive, respiratory, urinary and reproductive systems are shown in a number of the drawings, as are nerves and blood vessels. Special consideration is given to the structure of the head, with the emphasis on the nasal cavity, teeth, larynx and guttural pouches. The structure of the limbs is also illustrated in considerable detail, especially the foot, and reference is made to injuries and diseases that can result in poor conformation. The wealth of information contained in the book will be of great interest and value to veterinary and equine studies students, to owners, riders and breeders - in fact anyone requiring to know more about the structure of the horse and what makes it one of the most beautiful of animals.
Over 100 accurate drawings examine the horse — inside and out. The skeleton, muscles, nervous system, and major organs are clearly labeled and explained.
