Anatomy and Histology of the Domestic Chicken

Comprehensive reference describing in-depth physical anatomy and histology of domestic avian species chicken, depicted through high quality macro- and micro-photographs Atlas of Anatomy and Histology of the Domestic Chicken is a state-of-the-art atlas of avian anatomy that provides a complete collection of both original gross anatomy and histology photographs and texts of all body systems of the birds based on the domestic chicken to depict anatomic features. Using cutting-edge technology to create visualizations of anatomic structure, this specialist reference includes both gross anatomical structures/organs and their histological details next to each other. This approach enables readers to understand the macro- and micro-pictures of each organ/structure under study. • Provides a state-of-the-art atlas depicting the standards of avian gross anatomy and histology organized by body systems • Emphasized clinically relevant anatomical structures to reflect what avian clinicians and researchers need • Includes 200 high-resolution, high quality color images and diagrams to facilitate self and long-life directed learning, showing anatomical and histological features • Labeled radiographs will be provided of certain musculoskeletal structures and organs • Emphasizes chicken anatomy/histology as a baseline to compare across other avian species With comprehensive coverage of the subject and highly detailed photographs included throughout the text, Atlas of Anatomy and Histology of the Domestic Chicken is an indispensable resource for breeders, veterinarians, researchers, avian biologists, pathologists, and students in animal sciences and veterinary fields Wael Khamas, BVMS, MS, PhD is currently Professor of Anatomy and Histology at the College of Veterinary Medicine, Western University of Health Sciences.
