In this book, experts in the field provide comprehensive
descriptions of the neuroanatomy of the hypothalamic neuroendocrine
systems. The book begins with an extensive discussion on the
structural components of the neuroendocrine systems. The reader
will be introduced to the anatomy and biology of the hypothalamus
and the pituitary. The human hypothalamus is presented in
particular detail using state-of-the-art imaging techniques. In the
next section, the neuroanatomy of traditional
hypothalamo-hypophyseal systems is highlighted, with chapters
describing magnocellular neuroendocrine cells and discussing the
respective types of hypothalamic neurons that regulate various
pituitary hormones. Following this detailed structural and
anatomical description of the neuroendocrine system, the book's
final section focuses on the hypothalamic control of neuroendocrine
functions. This includes the control of circadian rhythm,
metabolism and appetite via specific peptidergic circuits. This
book provides essential information on the neuroanatomy and control
of neuroendocrine systems, addresses cutting-edge research
questions posed by recent advances in the development of potent
neuroanatomical tools, and highlights the latest technologies used
in neuroendocrinology research, making it a valuable reference
guide for students, trainees and established researchers alike.
This is the twelfth volume in the International Neuroendocrine
Federation (INF) Masterclass in Neuroendocrinology series, which
aims to illustrate the highest standards and to encourage the use
of the latest technologies in basic and clinical research and hopes
to provide inspiration for further exploration into the exciting
field of neuroendocrinology.
This edited book explores the use of technology to enable us to
visualise the life sciences in a more meaningful and engaging way.
It will enable those interested in visualisation techniques to gain
a better understanding of the applications that can be used in
visualisation, imaging and analysis, education, engagement and
training. The reader will also be able to learn about the use of
visualisation techniques and technologies for the historical and
forensic settings. The reader will be able to explore the
utilisation of technologies from a number of fields to enable an
engaging and meaningful visual representation of the biomedical
sciences. The chapters presented in this volume cover such a
diverse range of topics, with something for everyone. We present
here chapters on technology enhanced learning in neuroanatomy; 3D
printing and surgical planning; changes in higher education
utilising technology, decolonising the curriculum and visual
representations of the human body in education. We also showcase
how not to use protective personal equipment inspired by the
pandemic; anatomical and historical visualisation of obstetrics and
gynaecology; 3D modelling of carpal bones and augmented reality for
arachnid phobias for public engagement. In addition, we also
present face modelling for surgical education in a
multidisciplinary setting, military medical museum 3D digitising of
historical pathology specimens and finally computational fluid
dynamics.
With a newly enhanced, realistic art program, this updated edition
of Seeley's Anatomy & Physiology comes to life. Written for the
two-semester anatomy and physiology course, this text is
comprehensive enough to provide the depth necessary for those
courses not requiring prerequisites and is presented with such
clarity that it nicely balances the thorough coverage. Clear
descriptions and exceptional illustrations combine to help students
develop a firm understanding of anatomy and physiology and
understand how to apply those concepts. Known for having a strong
emphasis on critical thinking, Seeley's unique pedagogy integrates
clinical case studies throughout each chapter with a visual program
that presents material in understandable, relevant images, with
application questions that follow.
