Mammalian Anatomy: The Cat, Second Edition

This full-colour dissection guide of a cat includes text that incorporates high-quality photographs and clear discussions of dissection techniques to introduce students to the morphology of a mammal whose anatomy paralells that of the human. This atlas features more than 200 high-quality photographs and full-colour illustrations. Orientation diagrams help students identify the region of the body on the photograph. Coloured text throughout the book highlights dissection instructions. A second colour draws comparisons between cat and human anatomy. The muscular system section uses a systematic, regional treatment of muscle groups with a brief description of the muscle and a detailed description of the origin, insertion, and action of each. The skeletal system section is highly detailed, with descriptions of the individual bones and their relationships to each other and to the entire system. The illustrations in this section represent actual bones with natural surface texture, features and foramina. The coverage of other systems consists of a detailed account of the anatomy and an instructional guide to exposing that anatomy.
