1. Title of Book - p. i 2. Cover image - p. i 3. Title page - p. ii 4. Table of Contents - p. iii 5. Inside Front Cover - p. iii 6. Copyright - p. iii 7. Preface - p. iii 8. Key Features - p. iii 9. Evolve Online Resources - p. iii 10. Half Title - p. iii 11. The diagram shows anatomical directional terms using a dog's body, divided by transparent planes. The illustration features a darker shade dog standing in profile with three intersecting planes: median vertical through the center, dorsal horizontal across the back, and transverse vertical across the midsection. Labeled anatomical directions include: cranial or caudal head or tail, rostral nose, dorsal or ventral back or belly, proximal or distal near or far from body, medial or lateral toward or away from center, and palmar or plantar paw surfaces. These planes and terms illustrate standard anatomical orientation terminology in veterinary medicine.Anatomical Terms - p. iii 12. The micrograph of the tissue sample displays cellular structures organized in alternating bands. Multiple cells with prominent oval nuclei are arranged in distinct rows. The nuclei appear as darker oval structures within lighter cytoplasm. Darker shade spaces separate the tissue bands, creating a layered pattern. The cells exhibit varying densities throughout the field, with some areas showing tighter clustering. This histological preparation reveals tissue architecture at high magnification, likely representing epithelial or glandular tissue sectioning.Microscopy - p. 20 13. 3. The micrograph shows a single biological cell captured through electron microscopy. Dominating the center is a large, dark-stained nucleus containing a mixture of dense and lighter regions representing chromatin distribution patterns. The nucleus appears irregular in shape with a mottled internal structure where lighter areas indicate euchromatin and darker regions represent heterochromatin. Surrounding the nucleus is the cytoplasm containing multiple oval and elongated structures that appear to be mitochondria, visible as membrane-bound organelles with distinctive internal structures. The cell membrane forms an irregular boundary around the entire cell, showing small projections extending outward. The cytoplasm has a granular appearance, indicating the presence of various cellular components, including ribosomes and other organelles. This transmission electron micrograph reveals the ultrastructural details of cellular components at a subcellular level, providing insight into the internal organization of a eukaryotic cell.Cell Anatomy - p. 34 14. 4. The detailed anatomical illustration shows connective tissue with labeled cellular components. Central to the diagram are elongated fibroblasts rendered in light tones with extending processes and parallel reticular fibers running through the tissue. Various immune cells are distributed throughout, including plasma cells with characteristic wheel-like nucleus structures, lymphocytes with dense circular nuclei, and macrophages with irregular shapes and internal structures. Fat cells appear as large oval structures with pushed aside nuclei. The tissue contains capillaries shown as thin-walled tubular structures and nerve fibers rendered with distinctive textures. Mast cells with granular interiors are positioned near the bottom of the diagram.Exploring Tissues - p. 54 15. The Integumentary System - p. 70 16. The gross anatomy photograph shows the equine carpus viewed from the cranial side. The wrist region is formed by several closely arranged bones with distinct, smooth articular facets. These facets appear as flat to slightly curved surfaces separated by narrow grooves and edges. The overall arrangement shows how the small carpal bones fit together through these multiple articular surfaces.The Skeletal System - p. 96 17. The anatomical diagram shows detailed labels identifying major muscles and muscle groups. The diagram presents a standing horse with clearly defined musculature including the masseter and sternomastoid in the head region; splendius, trapezius, and serratus ventralis along the neck and upper back; latissimus dorsi along the back; deltoideus, pectoral, and triceps in the shoulder and front leg region; external abdominal oblique and external intercostal in the torso; and quadriceps group, gluteal group, biceps femoris, hamstring group, and gastrocnemius in the hindquarters and rear legs.The Muscular System - p. 148 18. The diagram illustrates the left side, which shows an axon terminating in a bulbous synaptic knob containing multiple circular synaptic vesicles filled with neurotransmitter molecules. The synaptic knob faces a narrow synaptic cleft separating it from the postsynaptic membrane on the right side. Several neurotransmitter molecules appear to be released into the cleft, moving toward receptor molecules embedded in the postsynaptic membrane. The receptor sites are shown as small rectangular structures along the membrane surface, ready to receive the neurotransmitter molecules to continue signal transmission.The Nervous System - p. 204 19. The diagram illustrates the pain pathway in a dog's body and depicts how pain signals travel through the nervous system. A silhouette of a dog displays the neural pathway from the initial stimulus to brain processing. At the bottom right, a starburst shape labeled Pain connects to Transduction: conversion of stimulus into nerve impulse (nociceptor). The signal travels upward through the transmission of the nerve impulses (sensory nerve fiber) along the spinal cord, where Modulation of the nerve impulses occurs. Finally, the pathway reaches the Conscious perception (brain) shown in the dog's head with an anatomical brain illustration.Sense Organs - p. 232 20. The microscopic image shows a cross-section of thyroid tissue with four labeled anatomical structures. Rounded and oval follicles are present, each lined by follicular epithelial cells with visible nuclei. The follicular epithelial cells form a continuous layer around colloid-filled follicular lumens. Structure 1 indicates a follicle located in the upper left area. Structure 2 indicates an interfollicular blood vessel positioned between adjacent follicles. Structure 3 identifies follicular epithelial cells forming the follicle wall. Structure 4 marks a colloid-filled follicular lumen.The Endocrine System - p. 260 21. 11. Blood, Lymph, and Lymph Nodes - p. 285 22. The photo shows a human heart with clearly visible chambers and major vessels. The muscular tissue appears textured with varying tones from light to dark, highlighting the ventricles and atria. The surface shows distinctive grooves marking coronary vessels. The aorta and other major vessels extend from the top portion. The model captures the heart's asymmetrical shape with its characteristic apex pointing downward and displays the organ against a dark background, enhancing structural details of this vital organ.The Cardiovascular System - p. 299 23. The Respiratory System - p. 334 24. The anatomical diagram reveals the elongated snout with visible teeth and a nasal cavity in the anterior portion. The middle section displays the oral cavity with soft tissue structures. The posterior region shows the cranial cavity housing the brain space. Various tissues are represented through different shading patterns: bony structures appear as outlines, soft tissues have textured patterns, and hollow spaces remain unshaded. The diagram demonstrates the spatial relationships between respiratory and digestive passages.The Digestive System - p. 364 25. The photograph of the organ displays a smooth, glossy surface with a characteristic bean shape. Two blood vessels extend from one side of the spleen, showing the vascular connections. The specimen appears to be preserved for medical or educational purposes, with visible texture variations across its surface. The attached vessels demonstrate the anatomical connection points where blood enters and exits this lymphatic organ.The Urinary System - p. 399 26. The Reproductive System - p. 421 27. 17. Pregnancy, Development, and Lactation - p. 450 28. Avian Anatomy - p. 458 29. Glossary - p. 480 30. Index - p. 488
