The Dissection of Vertebrates - A Laboratory Manual (Electronic book text, 2nd ed.)

The Dissection of Vertebrates provides students with a manual combining pedalogical effective text with high-quality, accurate, and attractive visual references. Using a systemic approach within a systematic framework for each vertebrate, this book covers several animals commonly used in providing an anatomical transition sequence. Seven animals are covered: lamprey, shark, perch, mudpuppy, frog, pigeon and cat.
New to this edition:
- Revision of the systemic section of the introductory chapter to maintain currency
