Aims to introduce students to the principles and concepts of physiology that are pertinent to the practice of veterinary medicine. This title covers physiopathology and clinical problem-solving techniques, and facilitates students in understanding each topics, with the help of clinical correlation boxes.
The third edition of this popular textbook introduces the student to those principles and concepts of physiology pertinent to the practice of veterinary medicine. It also covers physiopathology and clinical problem-solving techniques. Following on from the previous editions, the key features which facilitate students in understanding each topics, (Clinical correlation boxes appear in each chapter. They include history, Clinical and Laboratory Examination, Comment and Treatment), have been thoroughly revised and updated bringing forth current data in this area.
