About This Book

A practical handbook integrates anatomy and physiology for nurses and other learners, beginning with chemical composition, the cell, and the body's fundamental tissues before moving to regional anatomy. It explains the skin and its appendages, the organs of special sense, the cranial and facial bones, and the nervous system, then treats the back, chest, abdomen, pelvis, and extremities. Bones, muscles, blood vessels, lymphatics, nerves, glands, and the heart and circulation are described with accompanying physiological functions such as respiration, temperature regulation, sensation, and reflex action to support clinical understanding and care.
