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.

Organ structure and function come alive with 282 of Dr. Netter's beautifully rendered color drawings and schematics. Each chapter progresses from the important overview relationships of organ system physiology down to the tissue, cellular, and subcellular levels.

An economical portfolio which provides an overview of the systems of the human body. This 25 plate collection also features coverage on specific topics, such as the brain, the eye and the liver.

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.
