The work serves as a comprehensive reference on the anatomical structures of principal domesticated animals, focusing on the horse but including comparisons with other species such as ox, pig, and dog. It is designed both as a textbook for students of veterinary medicine and as a practical guide for veterinary practitioners, with emphasis on systematic and topographical anatomy supplemented by numerous illustrations. The main topic centers on the form, structure, and nomenclature of animal bodies relevant to veterinary science. The opening of the book presents the author’s preface, detailing the motivation behind creating an updated and well-illustrated resource for veterinary anatomy, highlighting recent methodological advances such as formalin hardening and the use of photographic imagery. It outlines the scope of the book as descriptive, focusing on gross anatomy for professional requirements, and explains choices in terminology to address inconsistencies in veterinary anatomical language. The introduction provides a foundational overview of anatomy as a biological science, the distinction between gross and microscopic anatomy, and an explanation of systematic versus topographic study methods. The first main content section (osteology) defines the basic structural elements of the animal skeleton in detail, describing bone types, structure, development, and classification, before beginning a region-by-region anatomical description starting with the vertebral column.
