Dr. Kattesh is co-author of theCD-ROM entitled "Applications of Functional Anatomy in Farm Animals: The Somatic Portion of thePeripheral Nervous System". This multimedia program, funded in part through the USDA Higher Education Challenge Grants Program, underscores the practicality of understanding structural and functional relationships of the nervous and skeletal muscle systems that underlie commonly occurring neuromuscular abnormalities in farm animals. Experience in this mode of instruction should improve problem-solving skills of students as they practice applying physiologic concepts to their own observations.
