This reference documents state-of-the-art trends and advancements in the utilization imaging modalities for the analysis of bones and their surrounding soft tissues, including muscles, tendons, ligame
Have you ever wished that you could unwrap a mummy? Imagine examining the skin, bones, even muscles and organs of a person who lived thousands of years ago! Cutting-edge technology is revealing more
Create lifelike portraits of family and friends—even a self-portrait—with this easy-to-follow drawing book! Eyes, noses, ears, and mouths—even the muscles and bones: this hig
The intimate relationship between form and function inherent in the design of animals is perhaps nowhere more evident than in the musculoskeletal system. In the bones, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and muscles of all vertebrates there is a graceful and efficient physical order. This book is about how function determines form. It addresses the role of mechanical factors in the development, adaptation, maintenance, ageing and repair of skeletal tissues. The authors refer to this process as mechanobiology and develop their theme within an evolutionary framework. They show how the normal development of skeletal tissues is influenced by mechanical stimulation beginning in the embryo and continuing throughout life into old age. They also show how degenerative disorders such as arthritis and osteoporosis are regulated by the same mechanical processes that influence development and growth. Skeletal Function and Form bridges important gaps among disciplines, providing a common ground for under
This chart shows normal hand and wrist anatomy, including bones, ligaments, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels. It illustrates and describes common acute fractures, such as Colles', Barton's, Smith's,
