Getting to know just how intricate and fascinating our bodies are. 
 Most of us take our body for granted and are never aware of its amazing capabilities. The Secret Life of the Human Body reveals just how intricate and fascinating our body is. Using offbeat illustrations and concise text, the book examines the symphony of interconnections and interdependences that keeps us alive. For example, there are seven octillion atoms making up the human body distributed among the organs, tissues, nerves, fibers, fluids and more which ensure that the entire system runs smoothly as we go about our daily life, totally unaware. How many of us know that the body has 15 "other senses" or that our eyes are capable of seeing the Andromeda galaxy 2.5 million light years away? The Secret Life of the Human Body takes us under our skin to discover a world we take for granted. The chapters are: <ul> 1. An inventory of what you're made of 2. The perfect world of the cardiovascular system -- Get to know your own heart; Mapping your blood vessels 3. The hidden world of hormones and enzymes -- How enzymes speed up processes in the body; The crucial role of hormones 4. Breath and fueling muscles 5. Musculoskeletal secrets 6. Digestive tract and what lies within 7. The battleground of your immune system -- Antibodies and how they protect your body; The amazing spleen 8. The senses 9. Skin, hair, nails 10. When things go wrong -- What causes disease and how our bodies counteract it; Vaccination and eradicating illnesses 11. Future health -- Curing HIV and other "incurable" diseases 12. Technology and the future of medicine -- 3D-printing of organs for transplant; surgery by ultrasound. </ul> We all love to learn something about ourselves, about our body, how it works and what happens when it doesn't work. Readers of all ages and interests will discover fascinating facts and come to appreciate the wonder of their body... and perhaps take better care of it. The Secret Life of... series unlocks the fascinating workings behind subjects such as mathematics, biology, linguistics, chemistry and genetics, to give readers a practical introduction and insights into the underlying stories and facts. Fully illustrated and packed with quirky illustrations and helpful diagrams, these books are sure to pique the curiosity of anyone who's ever thought, "I wonder how that works..."

Physiology and Anatomy: A Homeostatic Approach provides a modern approach to understanding how the human body functions in health and disease. Based on systems, the text uses homeostatic principles as a unique guiding concept throughout all the chapters.The format and content of this second edition facilitate the learning of human physiology by providing a framework for learning that takes the reader through 'basic' structure and function to more complex issues of clinical disorder and health care practice.

McVicar, Andrew

CRC-Press

The third edition of Physiology and Anatomy for Nurses and Healthcare Practitioners: A homeostatic approach presents homeostasis as a dynamic concept that provides the basis for understanding health and well-being. It recognises how failure to respond to homeostatic disturbances results in imbalances responsible for signs and symptoms of ill-health, and describes how healthcare interventions seek to reverse those imbalances. Accompanied by colour illustrations and a description of related anatomy, the book provides an integrated explanation of body functioning. It discusses the organisation of the human body, main features and processes that must be controlled for health, the organ systems that act as homeostatic regulators, and effectors of homeostatic regulation. It also discusses influences on homeostasis and provides case studies that place examples of ill health and health care into the context of homeostasis. Features of the third edition include: <ul>
<li>An overview of microbiology and principles of infection management</li> <li>Expanded information on pharmacological principles and actions of the major classes of drugs</li> <li>Expanded discussion on physiological functions in relation to specific pathologies </li> <li>Updates on how the Human Genome project has impacted healthcare</li> <li>Additional case studies to illustrate the healthcare provider’s role as an external agent of homeostatic control </li> <li>Photographs of common clinical conditions </li> <li>Access to an accompanying website with supplemental information</li> </ul>
An essential physiology and anatomy text, this book guides readers through the basic structure and functions of the body systems to more complex issues of clinical disorders and healthcare practice. Coverage includes the cardiovascular, lymphatic, nervous, endocrine, reproductive, and respiratory systems as well as skeletal muscle, embryo development, and circadian rhythms.

Perioperative Practice: Fundamentals of Homeostasis

Written by experienced nurse lecturers and a theatre nurse, Perioperative Practice highlights and explains the biological processes which can be disrupted by a major surgical procedure. Using the concept of homeostasis as a framework, the authors look at issues common to all surgical procedures such as the influence of anaesthesia on the nervous system or perioperative pain management. Individual chapters cover: <ul>
<li>the human body and principles of homeostasis</li> <li>the surgical approach and endoscopic procedures</li> <li>perioperative influences on body fluid homeostasis</li> <li>perioperative influences on immunological homeostasis and wound healing</li> <li>perioperative influences on cardiovascular homeostasis </li> <li>perioperative influences on respiratory homeostasis </li> <li>anaesthesia, stress and surgery</li> <li>pain and pain relief in the perioperative patient.</li>
</ul>
Generously illustrated in colour and black and white, the text features further learning activities and useful summaries of key points. It provides an important resource and supporting text for all nurses undertaking courses in theatre work or related areas or already working in such areas.
