Die im Vorwortdes 1. Bandes dargelegte Gliederung des Atlasses der Anatomie des Menschen blieb unveran- dert. Unsere Absicht, die Ganzheit des Organismus auch in der Bilderfolge zu veranschaulichen, fUhrte zu der Zusammenstellung von den Organsystemen, die den Rumpf bilden. Dabei haben wir versucht, die Be- ziehung zwischen Schultergurtel und Arm sowie zwi- schen Becken und Bein zu erhalten. Der gleiche Ge- danke leitete uns bei der Darstellung der Rumpfeinge- weide; auBer der systematischen Anatomie wurde die Syntopie der Organe und deren Verhaltnis zu Rumpf- wand und Becken aufgezeigt. Wegen des funktionellen Zusammenhanges wird das Ruckenmark seinen Platz im 3. Band innerhalb des Kapitels Zentralnervensystem erhalten. DaB der 2. Band nach kurzer Zeit dem ersten folgen kann, ist das Ergebnis guter Zusammenarbeit. Die er- fahrenen Mitarbeiter von Verlag und Herstellungs- betrieben ubernahmen die Gestaltung dieses Teiles des Atlasses. Sie erfUllten zuverlassig und mit person- licher Anteilnahme unsere Wunsche.

Have you ever tried to learn anatomy from a picture book? It's like using a road map to learn geography: you can see where all the cities are but you can never retain the information. Like names on a road map, anatomical terms are impossibly hard to remember, and without understanding the meaning behind the concepts, we somehow feel we don't understand what it all means. To learn anatomy, we need more than pictures and labels; we need a way 'into' the subject, a means of making sense of what we are looking at. "Anatomy of the Moving Body" is a complete, lecture-based approach to anatomy that helps us to understand our complex anatomy by explaining the subject in down-to-earth terms.With nearly 100 3D illustrations, "Anatomy of the Moving Body" is clearly and beautifully illustrated. Over the course of 31 lectures, the author confidently guides the reader through this complex landscape and makes unfamiliar terrain become familiar. Each part of the body is explained in short, manageable sections. And the author doesn't just name the muscles and bones but explains the terminology and, in the process, helps to demystify and make sense of an otherwise intimidating subject. In this, the second edition of the book, the 95 pencil drawings (roughly half of the book) in the original edition have been completely redone, using a 3D digital model of the human anatomical form.

R2,280 Discovery Miles 22 800 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The intimate relationship between form and function inherent in the design of animals is perhaps nowhere more evident than in the musculoskeletal system. In the bones, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and muscles of all vertebrates there is a graceful and efficient physical order. This book is about how function determines form. It addresses the role of mechanical factors in the development, adaptation, maintenance, ageing and repair of skeletal tissues. The authors refer to this process as mechanobiology and develop their theme within an evolutionary framework. They show how the normal development of skeletal tissues is influenced by mechanical stimulation beginning in the embryo and continuing throughout life into old age. They also show how degenerative disorders such as arthritis and osteoporosis are regulated by the same mechanical processes that influence development and growth. Skeletal Function and Form bridges important gaps among disciplines, providing a common ground for understanding, and will appeal to a wide audience of bioengineers, zoologists, anthropologists, palaeontologists and orthopaedists.

The course concentrated on three main areas: the impact of molecular biology and molecular genetics on aetiology, advances in our understanding pathogenesis, and finally therapy. The choice of the subject was suggested by the remarkable progress has been made in this field during the last decade, mostly due to the recent advances in genetics which now enable a new nosographic approach as well as different diagnostic strategies.

Learning the Hard Way - Masculinity, Place and the Gender Gap in Education (Paperback, New): Edward W. Morris Learning the Hard Way - Masculinity, Place and the Gender Gap in Education (Paperback, New)
Edward W. Morris
R883 Discovery Miles 8 830 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

An avalanche of recent newspapers, weekly newsmagazines, scholarly journals, and academic books has helped to spark a heated debate by publishing warnings of a "boy crisis" in which male students at all academic levels have begun falling behind their female peers. In Learning the Hard Way, Edward W. Morris explores and analyzes detailed ethnographic data on this purported gender gap between boys and girls in educational achievement at two low-income high schools-one rural and predominantly white, the other urban and mostly African American. Crucial questions arose from his study of gender at these two schools. Why did boys tend to show less interest in and more defiance toward school? Why did girls significantly outperform boys at both schools? Why did people at the schools still describe boys as especially "smart"? Morris examines these questions and, in the process, illuminates connections of gender to race, class, and place. This book is not simply about the educational troubles of boys, but the troubled and complex experience of gender in school. It reveals how particular race, class, and geographical experiences shape masculinity and femininity in ways that affect academic performance. His findings add a new perspective to the "gender gap" in achievement.
