Anatomy and Histology of the Laboratory Rat in Toxicology and Biomedical Research presents the detailed systematic anatomy of the rat, with a focus on toxicological needs. Most large works dealing with the laboratory rat provide a chapter on anatomy, but fall far short of the detailed account in this book which also focuses on the needs of toxicologists and others who use the rat as a laboratory animal. The book includes detailed guides on dissection methods and the location of specific tissues in specific organ systems. Crucially, the book includes classic illustrations from Miss H. G. Q. Rowett, along with new color photo-micrographs.

Written by two of the top authors in their fields, this book can be used as a reference guide and teaching aid for students and researchers in toxicology. In addition, veterinary/medical students, researchers who utilize animals in biomedical research, and researchers in zoology, comparative anatomy, physiology and pharmacology will find this book to be a great resource.

Reviews for Anatomy and Histology of the Laboratory Rat in Toxicology and Biomedical Research

The chapters are thoughtfully organized in a systems-based approach that evolves into more detailed chapters, which highlight specific tissues and organ systems that are commonly viewed as target organs in toxicity and carcinogenicity studies. The tables and diagrams are particularly useful as are the comprehensive bibliographies included at the end of each chapter. --Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association This book by Maynard and Downes provides a wonderfully illustrated and detailed treatise on the anatomy and histology of the rat. For researchers and students the book provides a much- needed guide to dissection and preparation of histological sections and, importantly, extensive reference lists for further reading. This is an invaluable resource for those working in the areas of toxicology, anatomy, experimental pathology, physiology, pharmacology and zoology. --EUROTOX
