It has been reorganised to provide a better flow of chapters and includes new chapters on special senses and sensory physiology, as well as extended coverage of feline species. The book has also been updated with relevant diseases in each physiology chapter, more detailed and frequent images, additional online images, and supplementary study materials for students.

In Anatomy and Physiology for Veterinary Technicians and Nurses, readers will find:

• Matching materials for the physiological functions of the systems dissected, labelled, and observed to combine both didactic and psychomotor learning concepts.
• Information on skeletal, joint, cardiovascular, respiratory, and muscle anatomy, as well as the anatomy of the nervous, endocrine, digestive, reproductive, and urinary systems.
