Preface

Functional Anatomy and Physiology of Domestic Animals is directed toward undergraduate students seeking a basic understanding of domestic animal anatomy and physiology. It assumes a basic background in biology and a strong interest by students wanting a greater understanding of animal systems. Now in its Fifth Edition, this text will continue to be of particular interest to students in animal science, preveterinary medicine, veterinary technician/technology programs, and other animal-related majors, and is an excellent bridge to other books required for greater depth of understanding. Experience with the first four editions and user comments have continued to guide efforts for this revision.
