Preface
The origin of this book is linked to the similar text on the Applied Anatomy of the Central Nervous System and to the earlier book on the Functional Anatomy of the Limbs. These books were based on the undergraduate courses on applied veterinary anatomy that were given to Liverpool University veterinary students from 1970 onwards. The Department of Veterinary Anatomy during this time was staffed by a group of enthusiastic staff members who were responsible for a highly successful undergraduate course given to first‐year veterinary students. Professor Anthony King was the driving force that made veterinary anatomy a popular start to the careers in veterinary science. The success of the veterinary anatomy course was largely due to the way that anatomy, previously a rather boring subject comprising pure factual knowledge, became interesting and illustrated with applied and clinical facts that held the attention of the students. It was inevitable that the lecture notes that the staff produced to illustrate their lectures and practical classes should form the basis for more formal public interest and benefit from regular updating. Applied anatomy began to have a place in the clinical years of the veterinary degree course and supportive publications followed.
