Colour Atlas of Anatomy of Small Laboratory Animals: Volume 1, 1e

This remains the only comparative study of the five principal species of small mammals used in biomedical research. In this unique two-volume set, the authors illustrate in superb detail the anatomy of each species, permitting comparisons between species and highlighting morphological differences of clinical significance. An essential reference for anyone performing surgical or post-mortem procedures. Volume one discusses the rabbit and guinea pig; the second volume discusses the rat, mouse and golden hamster. The only atlas of anatomy that features illustrations of the gross anatomy of all of the principal laboratory animals. Includes artwork to illustrate the position and orientation of structures in situ, in the living animal, as they will be encountered in carrying out a physical examination or surgical procedure. Illustrations of cross-sectional anatomy aid interpretation of diagnostic imaging such as ultrasonography.Peter Popesko MVDr DrSc is the author of 'Colour Atlas of Anatomy of Small Laboratory Animals: Volume 1, 1e', published 2003 under ISBN 9780702026997 and ISBN 0702026999.
