The Dissection of Vertebrates: A Laboratory Manual

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
– Corrections to several parts of the existing text and images
– New comparative skull sections included as part of the existing vertebrates
– Companion site with image bank
