This is the ideal guide for veterinarians and students wishing to organize their thinking and update their knowledge of organ systems physiology. The text consists of chapters of multiple choice questions, each of which is followed by the answer and a thorough explanation. Author Dr. Engelking covers all the section of physiology relevant for veterinary students including sections on body fluids and compartments, neuromuscular physiology and special senses, respiration, cardiovascular physiology, kidneys. All the questions are written in a format that is consistent with the boards.

Published by Teton New Media in the USA and distributed by CRC Press outside of North America.
