Human anatomy : a very short introduction
Klenerman, Leslie
Human anatomy : a very short introduction - Oxford Oxford University Press 2015 - 153 p. : ill. ; 18 cm. - Very short introductions .
The development of anatomy -- The skeleton and its attachments -- The vital systems -- Communication and control -- The head and neck -- The trunk - abdomen and pelvis -- The limbs -- Man, the tottering biped.
Includes bibliographical references and index. A vast subject that includes a strange vocabulary and an apparent mass of facts, human anatomy can at first appear confusing and off-putting. But the basic construction of the human body - the skeleton, the organs of the chest and abdomen, the nervous system, the head and neck with its sensory systems, and anatomy for breathing and swallowing - is vital for anyone studying medicine, biology, and health studies. In this Very Short Introduction Leslie Klenerman provides a clear, concise, and accessible introduction to the structure, function, and main systems of the human body, including a number of clear and simple illustrations to explain the key areas.
