Description
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. For example,
about seven million mice are used for various research
projects (JALAS working group in 1995) in Japan alone.
While picture information on the anatomies of humans
and companion animals (especially dogs and cats) have
been described in detail, so far, descriptions of the
anatomy of laboratory mice are insufficient except in
atlases of the development of the fetal stages and
specific parts of the body (brain, spinal cord, etc.)
. Furthermore, we discoverer some mistakes in the
mouse anatomy books that were published earlier in
Japan. Because of above backgrounds, detailed
knowledge of the anatomy of the mouse has become
increasingly in demand.
Features of this color atlas are as follows :
A wonderful attempt to present specimens as they
would appear in the living state, therefore specimens
were not treated, in order to obtain photographic
information close to the living state.
The atlas has 55 color pages, 2 pages of black and
white macro-anatomical photographs (angiograph) , and
93 pages of color sectional anatomical photographs
(sagittai, dorsal and transverse sections) .
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.
