Product Description:
Fundamental Anatomy presents essential human anatomy and embryology in a readable and well-illustrated concise text. Written in narrative form, this reader-friendly textbook provides the conceptual framework that will help students need to master the structure and function of human anatomy. Using a systems-based approach, Fundamental Anatomy emphasizes organizational and development and insightfully integrates embryology for a more thorough understanding of adult gross anatomy. A companion Website offers the book's fully searchable online text.
Product Description: This Basic Concepts title sheds light on the most elusive concepts in embryology and does so in a concise, lively manner. The level of detail is geared directly to that which is required by students in a way which esily accesses the most relevant information. The book utilizes jargon-free language and innovative teaching techniques to promote an understanding of concepts--not just the rote memorization of facts. To further enhance comprehension, text and illustrations accompany each other on the same or facing pages.
Now in its Tenth Edition, Permar's Oral Embryology and Microscopic Anatomy continues to provide comprehensive, yet concise coverage of embryology and histology for dental hygiene and dental assisting professions. It can also be used as an introductory text for dental students. This text begins with the basics of general histology, progresses through the development of the human embryo and fetus, and concludes with a focus on the development of the face and oral cavity. New to this edition are over 40 additional illustrations, including four-color micrographs. High-quality images of microscopic embryonic development and oral anatomy help students identify histologic structures. A new chapter regarding salivary glands includes information about remineralization, demineralization, fluoride, bacterial diseases, and HIV. Clinical aspects of oral tissue are covered to help readers expand their knowledge from basic to clinical sciences and apply fundamental principles. Suggested readings help readers find additional resources.
Product Description: Part of the Illustrated Colour Text series, Embryology presents core information on human embryology. The concise text and clear diagrams help to explain complex processes and concepts, and key points boxes aid retention of the most important facts. The science is linked to clinical medicine with clinical boxes. Highlighting relevant medical conditions, and a glossary helps to demystify embryological terms.
Text in concise ICT style so core information on embryology can be quickly recognised and digested.
Clear full colour diagrams and pictures make the embryological concepts clear and easily assimilated.
Clinical boxes make the the nub of what most medical students need to know, clinical relevance behind the science, immediately apparent.
How You Were Born by: Joanna Cole 38 used from $0.01 29 Thirdparty New from $3.00 Edition: Revised Media: Paperback EAN: 9780688120610 ISBN: 068812061X Number Of Pages: 48 Publication Date: 1994-05-24 Publisher: HarperTrophy
Product Description:
It is natural for young children to be curious about where they come from. Using vivid full-color photographs and a clear, straightforward text, this comprehensive book answers the questions they have about how an egg cell grows to become a baby, how a baby lives inside its mother's uterus, and how a baby is born.
Product Description: Here's a rich pictorial review of normal and abnormal human prenatal development. For each body system or region, you'll find a brief description of the developmental plan, with key concepts and terminology, followed by discussions of histological principles, the classification of congenital defects, and basic cellular, molecular, and genetic concepts.
An emphasis on morphological patterns in the embryo and fetus makes it easy to understand the structure and function of the adult body and the embryonic basis of birth defects.
Summary tables and terminology sections at the end of each chapter, plus an appendix with all major congenital defects and their embryonic basis, make it easy to review course material and prepare for the USMLE.
First Nine Months of Life by: Geraldine Flanagan 75 used from $0.01 20 Thirdparty New from $2.88 Edition: 2 Media: Paperback EAN: 9780671459758 ISBN: 0671459759 Number Of Pages: 100 Publication Date: 1982-12-17 Publisher: Touchstone
Product Description: This book presents an anatomical overview of the changing form and structure of the human body. Although biomechanical embryology can be traced back to the 19th century, up until recently the most commonly accepted framework for the study of human ontogeny (development of the individual) was molecular biology, which all too frequently relied on findings from animal experiments that remained untested for humans. German embryologist and anatomist Erich Blechschmidt's research concentrates on the evidence presented by the human embryo itself. He offers a new approach to the study of early human growth as a way to shed light on the development of body build, instincts, gestures, language, mathematics, tools, and dress.
