Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy: A Lab Manual is the culmination of more than 20 years of teaching Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy at the undergraduate level. This manual is made in taxonomic order, ranging from basal protochordates or invertebrate chordates to the mammal. Each chapter is organized by anatomical system and includes general descriptive external anatomy and internal systems. Most of the chapters include coverage of the skeletal, muscular, digestive, and urogenital system, with greatest detail placed on the anatomy of the shark, salamander, and cat as these are the taxa most commonly dissected in a comparative course. Vertebrate taxa such as the perch, bullfrog, and turtle are included due to specializations of one or more of their anatomical systems: for example, the bird is included due to its many unique adaptations for flight.
Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy: A Lab Manual:
- Includes a series of exercises following each chapter
- Provides an abundance of excellent material available through internet sources
