Osteology and Miology: forelimb

This book is the third in a didactic collection for the study of the anatomy (osteology and myology) of domestic animals for veterinary students. It deals with the osteology of the thoracic limb, describing the bony parts of the different anatomical regions, the main joints and movements, particularly the detailed anatomy of the canine forelimb. It also covers the main skeletal muscles of the thoracic limb, mentioning the bony landmarks of origin and muscle insertion for a better understanding of movements.

Using photographs of the bone parts and muscle dissection provides an engaging way to review the bones, and the specific areas where the muscles originate and insert, allowing a better understanding of the muscles that function as flexors and those that are extensors.

Finally, there is a short section on how to study these topics in the form of a practical protocol.
