The beautiful full-color illustrations in this book are accompanied by informative text explaining the major body systems: circulatory, digestive, endocrine, lymphatic, muscular, nervous, autonomic nervous, reproductive, respiratory, skeletal and urinary systems. It's a useful resource and valuable family reference, suitable for use by both adults and students. It's a must for every home library. Discover the intricacies and beauty of the human body in this complete, fully illustrated guide. Designed to help us understand the systems, organs, parts and processes that make our bodies function, The Human Body Atlas reveals the structures and mechanisms behind the human body. The user-friendly text, written by medical experts, demystifies the complexities of the human body. When you need to find out just how an organ works, the role it plays in the overall operation of the body, or what it really looks like?"you can find the answer in this book.

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.

Reveals the mechanisms of our body, from microscopic cells to the major internal structures. Discover the intricacies and beauty of the human body in this complete, fully illustrated guide. It is designed to help us understand the systems, organs, parts, and processes that make our bodies function.

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

This book is packed with information and beautifully illustrated throughout.The book comes with 2 sticker spreads to help you learn and understand the topic and fully engage with the subject.Included is a beautiful fold out poster 21.5" x 14.25".
