Whatever
your studying style…by
looking, listening, or
doing, or just a little of
each…the second version of
this innovative,
multiplatform approach
to anatomy &
physiology is designed
just for you.
Tackle a tricky subject
in bite-sized items. A
seeming large volume
of details is
organized into
manageable sections to
make advanced concepts
easy to appreciate and
remember. You begin
with an summary of the
body, together with its
chemical and cellular
structures, then
progress to one-of-a-
kind portrayals of each
body method, grouped
by functionality. A wealth of
full-color illustrations,
figures, sidebars,
helpful tricks, and easy-
to-read descriptions
make information
crystal transparent. Each
unique web page spread
provides a whole unit
of understanding,
breaking down complex
concepts into easy-to-
grasp sections

Mitral Valve Prolapse: Benign Syndrome?
Sharon Anderson explores Mitral Valve Prolapse, a syndrome that has wondered many for many years, and sheds gentle on a ailment that is affecting such a lot of and is addressed too little. the indications of the illness will not be diverse from these of alternative illnesses: palpitations, fainting, fatigue, shortness of breath, migraine complications, chest ache, episodes of super swift or abnormal heartbeat, dizziness and lightheadedness.
Howard Pattee is a physicist who for a few years has taken his personal course in learning the physics of symbols, that is now a starting place for biosemiotics. through extending von Neumann’s logical specifications for self-replication, to the actual specifications of symbolic guideline on the molecular point, he concludes type of quantum dimension is important for all times.
Animal cells are the popular “cell factories” for the creation of advanced molecules and antibodies to be used as prophylactics, therapeutics or diagnostics. Animal cells are required for the proper post-translational processing (including glycosylation) of biopharmaceutical protein items. they're used for the construction of viral vectors for gene treatment.

Example text
This process of adjustment (called homeostatic regulation) involves: 1. a receptor (which receives information about a change in the environment), 2. a control center (which receives and processes information from the receptor), and 3. an effector (which responds to signals from the control center by either opposing or enhancing the stimulus). The signal sent by the effector is called feedback; feedback can be either negative or positive. ● ● Negative feedback: when the effector opposes the stimulus (such as a dropping temperature) and reverses the direction of change (causing the temperature to rise) Positive feedback: when the effector reinforces the stimulus (such as uterine contractions during childbirth, which trigger the release of the hormone oxytocin) and amplifies the direction of change (causing even greater contractions and further release of oxytocin) Most systems supporting homeostasis operate by negative feedback.

For example, we know that 96% of the human body consists of just four elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen. Most of that is in the form of water. The remaining 4% consists of a sampling of various elements of the periodic table. Life depends on a precise balance between all of those chemicals. Scientists may not know the exact purpose of every element in the body, but they do know they’re all essential. The first step in understanding the human body is grasping how those chemicals interact.
