This
unique atlas on Bovine Anatomy combines the advantages of both topographical
and systems based methods of anatomy. Each page of text faces a
full page of realistic illustrations in colour. The topographical
treatment of parts of the body is accompanied by illustrations of
the bones, joints, muscles, organs, blood vessels, nerves, and lymph
nodes of each part. Information tables on the muscles, lymph nodes,
and peripheral nerves provide brief data referenced to the text.
The illustrations were drawn from dissections especially prepared
for that purpose, and instructions are given for the dissections.
Particular attention is paid to the histology, growth, and function
of the bovine hoof, based on extensive research. In addition to
the gross anatomy of the udder, its development, histology, and
function are described and illustrated. One chapter is devoted to
the pathology, pathogenesis, and molecular biology of bovine spongiform
encephalopathy, scrapie of sheep and goats, and chronic wasting
disease of American deer and elk.
