Rather than setting forth an overwhelming list of facts to be memorized, this book engages readers with a fascinating account of the connections between human anatomy and a wide array of scientific disciplines, weaving in the latest advances in developmental and evolutionary biology, comparative morphology, and biological engineering.  Logically organized around a few key concepts, The Scientific Bases of Human Anatomy presents them in clear, memorable prose, concise tabular material, and a host of striking photographs and original diagrams.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 1 A New System of Human Anatomy 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.1 Why a New System? 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.2 For Whom Is This System Useful? 4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.3 What is This System? 6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.4 Why, Therefore, This Book? 7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.5 What is My Hope for My Readers? 10\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 2 A Bird’s-eye View of the Human Body 13\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.1 The Scientific Basis of Anatomy 13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.2 Foundations: From Cell to Embryo 28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.3 Blueprints: Across the Chordates 41\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.4 Functions: External Lifestyles and Internal Milieux 52\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.5 Integration and Control, Body and Brain 63\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.6 Evolution: Forwards from Deep Time 69\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 3 “The Naming of the Parts”: Some Wrinkles 87\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.1 Terminological Confusions 88\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.2 Implications for Names from Developmental Anatomy 90\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.3 Conclusion 95\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4 Building the Human Trunk 97\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e4.1 The External Trunk: From Plan to Layout 97\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.2 The Internal Trunk: From Shell to Frsmework 118\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.3 The Trunk: Comparative Plans 129\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 5 Building Human Limbs 139\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.1 The Limbs, from Fetus to Adult 139\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.2 Limbs across the Vertebrates 157\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.3 Limb Variations 169\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 6 Understanding the Human Head 193\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.1 Insights from Building the Trunk 193\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.2 Now into the Head 197\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.4 Head Differences from the Trunk 215\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.5 Final Head Anatomy in the Resultant Adult 222\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.6 Head Structures and the Nervous System 230\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.7 Heads over the Long Haul, from Lampreys to Humans 240\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 7 Building the Human Brain 247\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7.1 The Beginnings of the Central Nervous System 247\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7.2 From Spinal Cord to Brain: the Initial Brain 252\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7.3 The Ultimate Brain 258\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7.4 The Size and Complexity of the Brain 264\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 8 Postlude: Possible Human Futures 283\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 291\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 295\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Archaeology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Archaeology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Archaeology%20%5BHD%5D%22\"\u003eHD\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52507391557912,"sku":"9780471235996","price":71.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471235996.jpg?v=1786445643","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-scientific-bases-of-human-anatomy-hardback-9780471235996","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
