Organ structure and function come alive with 282 of Dr. Netter's beautifully rendered color drawings and schematics. Each chapter progresses from the important overview relationships of organ system physiology down to the tissue, cellular, and subcellular levels.
Since the publication of the first edition of the Handbook of Human Immunology in 1997, major scientific achievements have elucidated our understanding of the complexities of the human immune system.
This second edition compiles the major breakthroughs of the past decade including dramatic increases in the number of recognized “clusters of differentiation” on the surface of leukocytes and associated cells, establishment of an entire new chemokine and chemokine receptor nomenclature system, and discovery of more than 30 “lymphokines.”
The text emphasizes clinically relevant immunological parameters, and clarifies the basic principles underlying immune system assays, as well as applications and interpretations of immune tests.
It includes chapters on general physiology, as well as cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, gastrointestinal, endocrine, central nervous system, and integrative physiology.
Medical Terminology Simplified: A Programmed Learning Approach By Body Systems
The third edition of this user-friendly book reflects current trends and new approaches to teaching medical terminology. It uses a programmed learning format to give students the freedom to learn medical terminology at their own pace but can also be used in the classroom. The new art work throughout the book enables the student to see a true representation of the body system or pathological condition.
This book illustrates an approach to prosodic typology through the intonational phonology of thirteen typologically different languages and the transcription system of prosody known as Tones and Break Indices (ToBI). This is the first book introducing the history and principles of this system, and it covers European languages, Asian languages, an Australian aboriginal language, and an American Indian language.
