A visual guide to human anatomy with stunning, most accurate images to date from SciePro, the leader in medical 3D photography. You will learn how our body is normally structured and functions, what pathologies there are, and, most importantly, how they look and are diagnosed.
Under the cover is a detailed and scientific account of the body, from genes and neurons to organs, complex systems and their functions, such as consciousness, sleep and speech.
The authors describe a brief history of anatomy and modern diagnostic methods (CT, MRI, PET). They provide scientific recommendations, useful tips and non-obvious facts. Did you know that hair color affects its thickness, where the accessory skeleton is located and that the brain in the womb produces 250,000 neurons per minute?
Each chapter is devoted to one topic and ends with a description of deviations and diseases: with photographs and explanations. This illustrated encyclopedia meets the highest medical standards - and is interesting to read for both children and adults.
