A colour atlas of the anatomy of small laboratory animals
This remains the only comparative study of the rabbit and guinea pig used in biomedical research. In this unique volume, the authors illustrate in superb detail the anatomy of both species, permitting comparisons between them and highlighting morphological differences of clinical significance. An essential reference for anyone performing surgical or post-mortem procedures. 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.
