Anatomy and Physiology For Dummies, 3rd Edition (For Dummies (Lifestyle))

Product Information

If you’ve taken geometry, you know that a plane is a flat surface and that a straight line can run between two points on that flat surface. Learn about the human body from the inside out Some people think that knowing about what goes on inside the human body can sap life of its mystery which is too bad for them. Don’t expect the structures of the body, and especially the joints, to line up or move along the standard planes and axes.

The line drawings as well as the color plates are keyed closely to the text and often clarify important facts. We’ve tried to present a light but serious survey of human anatomy and physiology that you can enjoy for the sake of the information it imparts and that will help you perform well on your tests.Gibson also serves on the Wake Forest University MS Business Analytics advisory board and has taught as an adjunct professor of Data Analytics and Business Models. Darwin made scientific history in his own way, of course, but it was a German physicist named Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen who’s remembered as the father of medical imaging. Then you can put the meanings of different fragments together and accurately guess the meaning of a term you’ve never seen before, just as you can understand a sentence you’ve never read before.

One flaw is the simplistic diagrams which lack labelings and names of the body parts the main body refers to. This book makes it easier to understand some of the difficult body parts by using definitions we can understand. We chose the conditions that we briefly examine to demonstrate some characteristic of the system, especially its interaction with other systems, but we don’t discuss diagnosis or treatment. The amount of anatomical and physiological knowledge that digital imaging technologies have helped generate over the past 30 years has transformed biological and medical science.

Problems can come up when the specialists who use the jargon want to communicate with someone outside their field. You discover some of the body functions that have been happening right under your nose — and in some cases right inside your nose — all your life.
