Comprehensive reference describing in-depth anatomy and histology of the domestic chicken, depicted through high quality macro- and micro-photographs

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:

External features of the body, including regions, features, ornaments, shape, feathers, skin, and the uropygial gland

Musculoskeletal characteristics including cartilage and bone formation and classification, as well as flight and ambulatory muscles

Digestive system, including the beak, esophagus, crop, proventriculus, ventriculus, intestines, and accessory glands

Respiratory system, including external nares, nasal cavity, trachea, upper larynx, syrinx, lungs, and air sacs

Urinary system, including kidneys and the ureter, cloaca-urodeum, and genital system, covering differences between males and females

Endocrine system, including pituitary, pineal, adrenal, pancreas, thyroid, and parathyroid glands

Nervous system with central and peripheral divisions and sense organs including eye and ear

Lymphatic system, with descriptions of the primary and secondary lymphatic organs

Egg anatomy and development of the chick embryo

Applied anatomical concepts important for clinical maneuvers and necropsy

With comprehensive coverage of the subject and highly detailed photographs included throughout the text, Anatomy and Histology of the Domestic Chicken is an indispensable resource for breeders, veterinarians, researchers, avian biologists, pathologists, and students in animal sciences and veterinary fields.
