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 structures, this exhaustive 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.
The text includes a total of more than 200 high-resolution, high quality color images and diagrams. Written by two highly qualified professors with significant experience in the field, Anatomy and Histology of the Domestic Chicken includes information on:
