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.

Features

User friendly style of writing to make it easy for students to read
Clinical correlations appear at the end of each chapter – shows how physiology is applied to diagnosis and management
Practice questions and answers at the end of chapters
Chapter outlines help the reader survey vital information
Organised by Body System for easy reference to data
