Summary:

The first comprehensive dissection guide to the dog to use a regional approach. Numerous color illustrations emphasize regional anatomy. Step-by-step dissection instructions set aside in separate colored boxes for easy access. Chapters organized by regions can stand independent of other chapters. This enables students to start dissecting a particular region of the body without reviewing the anatomy of the adjacent region. Clinical correlations are set aside in blue colored boxes to emphasize applied aspects of anatomy. Optional dissection procedures provide students the opportunity to practice mock thoracic and pelvic limb amputations as well as surgical approaches to certain long bones and joints of the body. Tables summarize information on anatomical details such as muscle attachments, innervation, and actions.
