Anatomy and Physiology of Domestic Animals

About this book

Comprehensive resource on the anatomy and physiology systems of common domestic animals, with learning resources included throughout

Anatomy and Physiology of Domestic Animals bridges the gap between theory and practice, emphasizing real-world applications. In this newly revised and updated Third Edition, each chapter includes a short section which emphasizes current animal management practices that take advantage of physiological principles discussed in that chapter to improve animal growth, development, or function.

Instructors will gain access to a website with PowerPoint slides of all of the figures, tables, and illustrations used in the book, with one PowerPoint presentation for each chapter. A test bank of potential questions for each book chapter is featured, including short answer, matching, true and false, and discussion questions. Each chapter also includes a study guide located at the end of each chapter and an opening section that provides an outline and listing of key concepts that the reader should get from each chapter.

Some of the key revisions to this Third Edition of Anatomy and Physiology of Domestic Animals include:

  • Genetic testing and modification of DNA to improve animal health or performance and the use of RNA to create vaccines
  • The dynamic nature of skin, not just as physical protection, but also in its relevance in immunity
  • The role of supportive non-neurons and proteins in brain function
  • New discoveries in hormone signaling and uses of hormone therapies in domestic animals
  • Reproductive strategies to regulate estrus, breeding schemes, and sex of offspring

Anatomy and Physiology of Domestic Animals is an essential up-to-date reference for undergraduate students in animal science, dairy science, pre-veterinary medicine, veterinary technician training, and biology. The book is also relevant as reference/review text for graduate students in animal sciences and physiology.
