Atlas Of The Human Body

Atlas of Human Body: Central Nervous System and Vascularization is a multidisciplinary approach to the technical coverage of anatomical structures and relationships. It contains surface and 3D dissection images, native and colored cross sectional views made in different planes, MRI comparisons, demonstrations of cranial nerve origins, distribution of blood vessels by dissection, and systematic presentation of arterial distribution from the precapillary level, using the methyl metacrylate injection and subsequent tissue digestion method. Included throughout are late prenatal (fetal) and early postnatal images to contribute to a better understanding of structure/relationship specificity of differentiation at various developmental intervals (conduits, organs, somatic, or branchial derivatives). Each chapter features clinical correlations providing a unique perspective of side-by side comparisons of dissection images, magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography. Created after many years of professional and scientific cooperation between the authors and their parent institutions, this important resource will serve researchers, students, and doctors in their professional work. Contains over 700 color photos of ideal anatomical preparations and sections of each part of the body that have been prepared, recorded, and processed by the authors Covers existing gaps including developmental and prenatal periods, detailed vascular anatomy, and neuro anatomy Features a comprehensive alphabetical index of structures for ease of use Features a companion website which contains access to all images within the book

Few machines can claim to be as awesome as the one with which we are most familiar: the human body. But what do we really know about its form and function, so much of which we take for granted? This book will expand your knowledge in remarkable ways, layer by layer. It features detailed double-page maps of different body systems, cross-sections of organs, electron microscopic images and other lavish photographic documentation, as well as up-to-the-minute anatomical and medical facts. This comprehensive atlas is a fascinating reference that will help you respect and appreciate the body you're in.

Resource added for the Anatomy and Physiology "10-806-193" courses.

Special care has been taken to ensure the quality of the book and to include information that may be lacking in comparable books.

Reveal the inner workings of the human body with this illustrated atlas. How well do you know your body? What happens under your skin? Where exactly is your stomach? What does your liver do? How can ears help your balance? The Body Atlas answers all these questions and many more. This unique visual guide approaches a body as if it were a map, divided into "continents" (such as parts of the body) and "countries" (such as organs). You can see inside your body and examine it region by region - for example, the head and neck or the upper torso. These regions enclose vital structures, such as the brain, lungs, and heart, just as continents contain countries. Body systems such as the circulatory system (blood) and nervous system, link the body regions just like mountains and rivers range across countries. The detailed illustrations carefully pull back the layers of the body so you can see inside the hidden interior. All bones, muscles, and organs are clearly labeled with scientific and common names; and there are photos of parts you wouldn't normally be able to see, such as your vocal cords. Packed with amazing facts and illustrations, The Body Atlas takes you on a top-to-toe tour through your own anatomy. Now celebrating its 25th anniversary, this book has been refreshed for a new generation of budding biologists and doctors-in-the-making.

The Atlas of the Human Body gives clear and thorough explanations of each of the major organs and systems of the human body. Covering everything from the rhythm of the heartbeat and cardiac cycle, the urinary and reproductive organs, and the oral cavity and teeth to the blood vessels, joints, and bones, this atlas helps you understand the interior workings of the entire human anatomy. As thorough as a world atlas, this book enables you to pinpoint the precise location of your ailments and provides you with general information about each body part. Within each section, common illnesses for each part of the body are identified. Giving the most up-to-date facts on every aspect of the human anatomy, the Atlas of the Human Body meets the needs of the medical practitioner and layperson, students from elementary school to medical school, and families for use as a home medical reference.

Detailed colour illustrations and photographs included. Each section examines the bones, muscles, nerves and internal organs in detail and explains how they work.
