This comprehensive textbook on veterinary physiology for undergraduates in veterinary medicine and animal science, as well as for graduate students, practicing veterinarians, and veterinary researchers, has been revised and updated to reflect new developments in the field since the 10th edition of 1984. Forty-two specialists from veterinary schools and research institutions in the US, Canada, Ireland, and Sweden treat the topics of blood, circulation, and the cardiovascular system; respiration and exercise; digestion, absorption, and metabolism; minerals and bones; water balance and excretion; endocrinology, reproduction, and lactation; and the nervous system, special senses, skeletal muscle, and temperature regulation.
