I am an engineer, so I really do not know much about Anatomy, and as the title suggest a dummy :-) The book is not a simple read and it did take me a while to go through it, but it did worth it. jpg","width":250,"height":350},"authors":[{"authorId":11358,"name":"Erin Odya","slug":"erin-odya","description":"

Erin Odya is an anatomy and physiology teacher at Carmel High School in Carmel, Indiana. You’re probably using this book to supplement instructional material in career training for a clinical environment, so the information throughout the book is slightly slanted in that direction. They’re at the we hold these truths to be self-evident level for chemists and physicists of all specialties, including all biologists. Reading about anatomy and physiology is interesting insofar as it explains how and why our body succeed to function with such amazing mechanisms.you're a student, an aspiring medical, healthcare or fitness professional, or just someone who's curious about the human body and how it works, this book offers you a fun, easy way to get a handle on the basics of anatomy and physiology. They remove the byproducts of the energy consumed in locomotion and by the fetus in development and carry them to the organs of the urinary system for excretion. Because not only are you reading, you can actually see how things work inside the body in terms of our anatomy and physiology.

The processes that your body must carry out minute by minute to sustain life, not to mention the biochemical reactions that happen thousands or millions of times a second, can’t be left to the immature and distractible frontal lobes (the conscious, planning part of your brain). Another class of imaging technologies uses radiation from within the body to create the images that show bodily processes — physiology as well as anatomy. Digital imaging techniques began to be applied to convert multiple flat-slice images into one three-dimensional image. Jargon is a set of words and phrases that people who know a lot about a particular subject use to talk together.So does each species of protist (one-celled creatures, like amoebae and the plasmodia that cause malaria). The human species has one other variety, Homo sapiens neanderthalensis, which has been extinct for tens of thousands of years. Some focus solely on humans, others concentrate on other species, and still others examine the areas of overlap between humans and other animal species. Jam packed with memorization tricks, test-prep tips, and hundreds of practice exercises, it’s the ideal resource to help you make anatomy and physiology your minion!
