Anatomy of the Horse: with Aaron Horowitz and Rolf Berg

Product Information

There is an element of mystery shrouding these illustrations, perhaps because the artist is still unknown to us today.

Because of this pattern of wear, a rough estimate of a horse's age can be made from an examination of the teeth.Important end-products of the fermentation are volatile fatty acids (acetic, propionic and butyric) which can serve as an energy source for horses fed mostly forages such as pasture or hay.

A horse's incisors, premolars, and molars, once fully developed, continue to erupt throughout its lifetime as the grinding surface is worn down through chewing. The photograph shows the laminae which keep the hoof wall tightly bonded to the internal structures. The motor division carries signals from the central nervous system to muscles, glands, and other tissues. To study those plates having read of how and why, after making his drawings, he also had to engrave them on copper himself because nobody else would do it gives the serious artist food for much thought. The non-glandular part of the stomach is located towards the blind sac and the body lies near the lesser curvature.Horses, in common with mammals such as camels, do not have a gall bladder, meaning bile flows constantly. Equine anatomy – along with the awareness of anomalies and certain deviation from desired norms – should be common knowledge among horse lovers. The stomach’s main functions include mixing, storage and controlled release of feed into the small intestine; and secretion of pepsin to begin protein digestion. He positioned his subject laterally to best display its musculoskeletal system, unique markings, and athletic build.
