A Technique for the Description of Projections of Internal Organs Onto the Exposed Surface of Animals

En teknikk for beskrivelse av projeksjoner au indre organer på den synlige ouerflate av dyr

Abstract

The need for exact knowledge of the projections of internal organs onto the surface of animals is emphasized, for clinical veterinary medicine as well as for hunting purposes. A method is described for outlining the projections of dissected anatomical structures onto the exposed surface, on a photograph of the undisturbed animal in a natural standing position.

Sammendrag

Behovet for eksakte kunnskaper om projeksjoner av indre organer på overflaten hos dyr er preslisert, så vel for klinisk arbeid i veterinærmedisin som for jaktformål.

En metode er beskrevet for avgrensing av projeksjoner av dissekerte anatomiske strukturer på den synlige overflate, i fotografiet av det initakte dyr i naturlig stående stilling.
