Description
Dukes' Physiology of Domestic Animals 13th Edition serves as a reference for students learning physiological concepts, practitioners applying physiology to the clinical setting, and researchers requiring a resource for mammalian and avian physiology. Throughout the book, domestic animal structure and dysfunction is applied to practice setting, with clinical correlations, notes of relevance, and exercises featuring clinical situations to demonstrate practical relevance. Presenting detailed, complete descriptions of mammalian and avian function, it is equally useful as a primary text for veterinary students, as a practice reference for clinicians, and as a basic resource for researchers.
