Question About Miller's Anatomy of the Dog 3rd ed.

Members don't see this ad.

Okay, third edition is the newest addition, right? Well I had some questions about it:

-Is the whole book black and white?

-Are you supposed to color it?

-Are the charts labeled with the names right next to the structures (e.g. the word "iris" with a line pointing to the iris of the eye) or are there numbers on the charts (e.g. number 3 and it's pointing to the iris) and you look on a different page to see that 3 is the iris? (You know what I mean, right? Some anatomy books label structures directly, while others use numbers and you have to look somewhere else to see what the numbers mean.)

I tried googling for pictures but all I could find was stuff from the second edition 🙁 I don't know what, if anything, has changed.

Third edition is newest.

Words, not numbers.

Um, you can color it if you want but stuff is shaded and such and it's a really expensive book and more of a textbook that explains things than a picture book so I don't know why you would. It is all in black and white (though there is some red and yellow coloring in some stuff).

Okay, thanks. (Whew 100th post!)

Can anybody look at the table of contents in Miller's and give me the list of chapters? Thanks!

2. Prenatal Development
3. The Integument
4. The Skeleton
5. Arthrology
6. The Muscular System
7. Digestive and Abdomen
8. Respiratory
9. Urogenital
10. Endocrine
11. Heart & Arteries
12. Veins
13. Lymphatic Systm
14. Nervous Sytm
15. Autonomic Nervous Sytm
16. Spinal Cord & Meninges
17. Spinal Nerves
18. The Brain
19. Cranial Nerves
20. Ear
21. Eye

I can tell you that as a 1st year student, I really didn't use this text. We mainly used DeLaHunta's (sp) dissection of the dog. But I think that for the long term reference, this is going to be an awesome text to have on hand. I also feel like once out of school I'll still be learning more and more, and will want a solid reference.

Best advice I could give to incoming freshmen: learn your bones over the summer!! Every groove, every notch. You'll get more out of anatomy class if you do and you'll be a little less stressed and ahead of the game.

I didn't use Miller's Anatomy at all except maybe to look up two things that didn't translate well from human to canine anatomy.

Evans and DeLahunta's Guide to the Dissection of the Dog and Google were my go-to's for stuff not covered in lecture.

Thanks for the list!!!

I want to be a veterinary researcher or anatomist or something so learning anatomy really means A LOT to me. My current dog anatomy book (Dog Anatomy: A Coloring Atlas) has become too easy for me so I'm ready for something more detailed. I can't wait to sink my teeth into Miller's! Wheee!

If I married a book, Miller's just might be the one! Haha just kidding.

(And yes I know I need to know more than anatomy to be a good scientist. Lucky for me I like math, chemistry, biology, pretty much everything!)
