animals. Organized by body systems, the chapters include alimentary, liver and
pancreas, respiratory, cardiovascular, urinary, endocrine, hemopoietic, central
nervous system, muscle, skeletal, integumentary, male and female reproductive
systems, and eye and ear. Each chapter begins with a brief review of basic
principles of anatomy, structure and function, followed by congenital and
functional abnormalities and discussions of viral, bacterial and parasitic
infections and neoplasia. Special Veterinary Pathology remains the only
veterinary book devoted solely to systemic pathology.
