The Human Body Indentification Guide is from the Philip's Encyclopedia.

Provides comprehensive information on all aspects of health and disease ranging from how the body functions to when to consult your GP to what type of drug you have been prescribed.

Anatomy is a branch of biology that is concerned with the identification and description of living organisms'internal structures. It comes from the Greek words ana and tomia, which mean up and cutting, respectively, and denotes cutting up or dissection when combined. The present book describes the historical aspects of anatomy, Anatomy of humans, Veterinary Anatomy and plants. This book also covered technological adoption in anatomy education. Use of virtual lab, three-Dimensional Digital Simulations, cloud technology, and Artificial intelligence in Anatomy education has also been covered. This book will be helpful for students, researchers and scholars to understand the complexity of anatomical structures of humans, animals and plants.

Human intelligence isn't just located in the brain. Our bodies are marvelously sophisticated and complex, with a variety of autonomic systems that help maintain our health without us ever having to think about them. But how exactly do all these physiological structures actually work? In Our Intelligent Bodies, physiology professor Gary F. Merrill takes you on a guided tour through the human body.

This text is designed to provide comprehensive coverage of the anatomy and physiology of the central and peripheral auditory systems. Readers will benefit from the important link between science and clinical practice, with integrated clinical correlates found in each chapter. It is an essential text for graduate programs in audiology and a valuable reference for audiologists at any stage of their career.

Spiral Bound explores the potential for yoga as a healing modality by examining the body's anatomical structure as it has evolved embryonically. With a light touch approach, Karen weaves together threads of development to see how our morphological constraints arise in the earliest moments of life and how this rotation lays the spiral groundwork for rotational kinematics that encompass all tissue.

In this series, Adam Rutherford looks at the work of second century anatomist of the Roman Empire, Claudius Galen. Galen used first hand experience to describe his anatomical observations in writing so detailed that later Persian translations included illustrations. After the fall of Constantiople, classical works influenced Renaissance thinkers and artists like Leonardo da Vinci, who also performed dissections to discover how the human body works.

In Part 2, we explore the relationship of art and anatomical illustration while referring to the artist Rembrandt, the brothers William and John Hunter and Henry Gray, of the well-known Gray's Anatomy. As anatomists used dissections to discover the truth about the human body, illustrators worked with them to create anatomically accurate drawings to be used as a teaching tool for medical students and surgeons.

This nine-part series uses physiologic animations and illustrations, microscopic imaging, expert commentary, and footage of the body in motion to provide a thorough overview of the amazing human machine. Marvelously detailed, yet readily understandable.

Most animals, including humans, are essentially food-processing tubes. In this program, anatomy guru Gunther von Hagens lays out the human body’s seven-meter digestive tract end-to-end, showing viewers each stop on the gastrointestinal highway. Beginning with the tongue, salivary glands, pharynx, and epiglottis, von Hagens uncovers and removes the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, small and large intestines, and anus, as well as the liver, kidneys, and pancreas.
