The textbook "Anatomy of Domestic Animals" - Volume I, is intended for training students in veterinary medicine. It covers the material on the musculoskeletal system (bone and muscular system) and is consistent with the latest changes in the anatomy curriculum and curricula.
The textbook's terminology is brought into line with the latest requirements of the international veterinary anatomical nomenclature. When describing individual anatomical units, the most general patterns in the structure of organs and systems in animals are given at the beginning, and the characteristic features and differences in each type of animal are described at the end. The illustrations in the textbook have been significantly improved and are borrowed from both older and the latest world-famous textbooks on the anatomy of domestic animals.
