Atlas of the Anatomy of Dolphins and Whales

An Atlas of the Anatomy of Dolphins and Whales is a precise and detailed, fully illustrated, descriptive and functionally-oriented atlas on the anatomy and morphology of dolphins, which provides much-needed basic knowledge about the animals' anatomical structures, in particular concerning soft tissues. As a separate supplement to Anatomy of Dolphins: Insights into Body Structure and Function, this atlas will be of great interest the scientific community at large and in particular to veterinarians and biologists. This supplementary anatomical atlas presents a considerable amount of unique graphical material such as high quality figures and figure series which are beyond the scope of the authors' related book. The conceptual clarity, precision, and comprehensive and updated display of the topographical anatomy of the dolphin's body in the atlas supports and illustrates the authors' related work, and serves as a reference for those who are more specifically interested in the details of dolphin anatomy and morphology. In addition, the atlas functions as a stand-alone reference work in dissecting rooms and labs, and to sample stranded and by-caught dolphins in the field. With a modern approach to dolphin anatomy and morphology, this atlas provides extensive knowledge of body structure - the fundament of medicine and biology. Functions as a helpful method for demonstrating the animal's anatomy prior to dissection, and for teaching anatomy itselfProvides a unique and authoritative resource that explicitly relates gross and microscopic anatomy of organs and tissuesOffers a single reference source and useful teaching tool for visualizing the integrated body and its components INDICE: 1.
