Invertebrate anatomy, ribs (Costae) are the long curved bones which form the rib cage. In most tetrapods, ribs surround the chest, enabling the lungs to expand and thus facilitate breathing by expanding the chest cavity. They serve to protect the lungs, heart, and other internal organs of the thorax. In some animals, especially snakes, ribs may provide support and protection for the entire body.
The true ribs (sternal ribs) are directly connected to the sternum, the false ribs (asternal ribs) are indirectly connected to the sternum by uniting with the cartilage of the rib in front to form the costal arch, and the floating ribs are the most caudal ribs, whose cartilage ends free in the musculature without attachment to an adjacent cartilage.

The mouse is the most widely used laboratory mammal in biomedical research such as evaluation of the safety and effectiveness of new pharmaceutical products, research in tumor suppression, and vaccine and monoclinal antibody proportional studies.
Anatomy is one of the important basic sciences and although much progress has been recently made in the field of human imaging diagnosis, information on sectional anatomy of experimental animals is lacking at present.
The specimens were not fixed but kept in a frozen state so that photographic information close to the living state could be obtained. All photographs are in color for detailed observation. Each atlas has numerous color pages, 2 pages of black and white macro-anatomical photographs are provided making the sectional atlas more comprehensible. All pages consist of photographs so as to make the detail more comprehensive and three-dimensional than the usual pictorial atlas. The anatomical terms used are in Japanese and English.
Bringing together annotated images and anatomical terms, this reference book is a unique combination of a practical, clinically oriented textbook and pictorial atlas of avian anatomy. Containing very high quality photographs, including histological and radiographic images and schematic diagrams, this edition focuses on ornamental birds and poultry. Among the various species examined are chickens, ducks and geese, as well as budgerigars, psitaccines and many others. In addition, wild bird species such as the common buzzard and falcon are taken into account and raptors are featured in a dedicated new chapter. Translated from Anatomie der Vgel, first published by Schattauer, Avian Anatomy is an ideal book for veterinary practitioners and students.
