The lymphatic circulatory system Chapter 15 transports fats from the digestive tract to the blood and develops immunities to protect the body from disease. Chapter 16 covers nutrition and the digestive system, which converts the food we eat into a usable form for use by body cells. The respiratory system, which brings in oxygen gas to the body and eliminates carbon dioxide gas, a waste product of cellular metabolism, is discussed in Chapter The urinary system, which filters our blood 60 times a day of the many wastes and excesses that the body does not need, is covered in Chapter The final chapter of the text is the reproductive system.
This system allows us to propagate our species and to pass on our genetic characteristics to our offspring. Students observe details of bone structure in the illustrations and are then able to compare with photos of actual bones.
An applied skills-focused text, Brotto uses real-life cases, worked examples and real medication charts and labels to engage students. Using a scaffolded approach to learning, the text starts with fundamental maths and familiarises students with medication charts and labels, then moves on to specialist area chapters, allowing learners to deepen their skills in a clinical context. Students engage in the activities of each chapter as an introduction to the concept before moving onto the final chapter where they can test their overall knowledge.
The student-friendly text provides a clear and fresh approach to the study of nursing; it is straightforward and heavily illustrated with colour photos of procedures. Users who purchase Connect Plus receive access to the full online ebook version of the textbook, as well as SmartBook.

An examination of how widely distributed and specialized activities of the brain are flexibly and effectively coordinated.
Focusing on the terminology instead of the context, the text provides just enough content on the anatomy of each body system to help students understand the related disease, diagnostic and surgical terms. Students are equipped with tools to analyze and define medical terms, along with techniques to build medical terms from roots, prefixes, and suffixes.
In this new edition, complex concepts and difficult content are simplified and may be applied to common problems in patient care. Special attention is given to anatomy and physiology that is needed for an understanding of pathophysiology and pharmacology. Imaging of Traumatic Brain Injury is a radiological reference that covers all aspects of neurotrauma imaging and provides a clinical overview of traumatic brain injury TBI.
It describes the imaging features of acute head trauma, the pathophysiology of TBI, and the application of advanced imaging technology to brain-injured patients. Key Features: Covers acute as well as chronic traumatic brain injury Written in an easily accessible format, with pearls and summary boxes at the end of each chapter Includes state-of-the-art imaging techniques, including the multiplanar format, the utility of multiplanar reformats, perfusion imaging, susceptibility weighted imaging, and advanced MRI techniques Contains over high-quality images This book will serve as a practical reference for practicing radiologists as well as radiology residents and fellows, neurosurgeons, trauma surgeons, and emergency physicians.
Skip to content. Score: 3. Content is organized according to body systems and focuses on the body working together to promote homeostasis. Improving both the quality and quantity of text illustrations, the Fourth Edition's new art program brings text concepts to life with new figures throughout. Important Notice: Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.
The book is written with clinical endpoints in mind, and only those topics that are ultimately important to understanding, evaluating, and managing clients with speech, hearing, and swallowing disorders are covered.
They also added a new chapter on the anatomy and physiology of the auditory system. Plant growth and development are mediated by specific plant hormones and plant growth regulators PGRs Ross et al. Plants exhibit natural variation in their form and structure. While all organisms vary from individual to individual, plants exhibit an additional type of variation.
Within a single individual, parts are repeated which may differ in form and structure from other similar parts. This variation is most easily seen in the leaves of a plant, though other organs such as stems and flowers may show similar variation. There are three primary causes of this variation: positional effects, environmental effects, and juvenility.
Transcription factors and transcriptional regulatory networks play key roles in plant morphogenesis and their evolution. During plant landing, many novel transcription factor families emerged and are preferentially wired into the networks of multicellular development, reproduction, and organ development, contributing to more complex morphogenesis of land plants. Much of developmental biology research in recent decades has focused on the use of a small number of model organisms.
It has turned out that there is much conservation of developmental mechanisms across the animal kingdom. In early development different vertebrate species all use essentially the same inductive signals and the same genes encoding regional identity. Even invertebrates use a similar repertoire of signals and genes although the body parts formed are significantly different. Model organisms each have some particular experimental advantages which have enabled them to become popular among researchers.
In one sense they are 'models' for the whole animal kingdom, and in another sense they are 'models' for human development, which is difficult to study directly for both ethical and practical reasons.
Model organisms have been most useful for elucidating the broad nature of developmental mechanisms. The more detail is sought, the more they differ from each other and from humans. Also popular for some purposes have been sea urchins [41] and ascidians. Helping millions of future healthcare professionals prepare for lab and practice lab concepts. The fully revised Twelfth Edition provides a more active, workbook-style approach that incorporates visual summaries, streamlines information, and engages students with hands-on drawing and review activities.
Within its structured environment, students practice what they learn, test their understanding, andpursue a personalized study plan that helps them better absorb course material and understand difficult concepts. Nath, Edwin F. Every chapter of the Tenth Edition includes one- and two-page Spotlight Figures that seamlessly integrate text and visuals to guide you through complex topics and processes.
