Fully updated and written by respected veterinary technician educators, this popular textbook is the practical, comprehensive foundation for your success in veterinary technology.

Clinical application boxes help you sharpen your skills and apply principles to practice. Test Yourself boxes throughout chapters emphasize important study points. An extensive glossary provides quick reference to hundreds of important terms and definitions.

Over new illustrations help you identify structures with rich, realistic clarity. A NEW full color format visually enhances your understanding of anatomic and physiologic concepts. Four NEW chapters give you the latest insight on the chemical basis of life, nutrition and metabolism, pregnancy, development, and lactation, and reptile and amphibian anatomy and physiology. A revised chapter on the cardiovascular system helps you most effectively comprehend the complex functions of the heart and blood vessels.

Updated to include new material for beginners in ophthalmology and optometry, Ocular Anatomy and Physiology, Second Edition is an essential text that covers a range of fundamental information for students and clinicians. Ledford, Ocular Anatomy and Physiology, Second Edition now begins with a jump-start chapter to overview the topic for those new to the field of eye care.

Chapter two delves into embryology—a topic rarely covered—and addresses each structure of the eye, including the bony orbit, eyebrows, eye lids, lacrimal system, extraocular muscles, and the globe. While the text continues to emphasize normal anatomy, each chapter contains a glossary of common disorders. To understand our modern human bodies, this book first looks at our ancestors and how the evolution of Homo Sapiens shaped our anatomy.

This gave us the ability to walk tall, create language, and make tools with our incredibly adapted opposable thumbs. Read about the things you can only see with microscopes and other special imaging machines, like cell structure, motor pathways in the brain, and the inner iris. All these many parts work together to make the human body. The physiology of our body is written in clarifying detail.

Learn about the organs and systems that operate within, like the cardiovascular, digestive, and neural systems. Judi L. Nath is a biology professor at Lourdes University, where she teaches anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, medical terminology, and pharmacology.

This program presents a better teaching and learning experience by providing: A visual approach and modular organization: The two-page modules seamlessly integrate text and visuals to guide students through complex topics and processes with no page flipping.

The addition of new content in select modules gives students a better understanding of physiology. Frequent practice: Review questions at the end of each module, section, and chapter encourage and support student practice. Learning outcomes that tightly coordinate with teaching points: The clean one-to-one correspondence between the numbered chapter-opening Learning Outcomes and the numbered two-page modules give students an easy learning path and instructors an easy vehicle for assessment.

Instead of long columns of narrative text that refer to visuals, this book integrates visuals with the text. This book has true text-art integration, which encourages reading and enhances understanding. The top left page begins with the module number and module title, the bottom right page ends with a set of self-check Module Review questions, and the text-art presentation fills the rest of the spread. Neural tissue therefore has a very limited ability to repair itself after injury.

Sites of contact with other cells book that uniquely meets the needs of branched, and striated, Cardiac muscle cells usually with a single nucleus. Each type has a distinctive called intercalated discs.

For example, smooth muscle is found in the skin, in the walls of blood vessels, and in many digestive, respiratory, urinary, and Smooth muscle cells required for careers in reproductive organs. The cells are short, spindle-shaped, and nonstriated, and Nuclei have a single, central nucleus.

Module 4. Describe the three types of muscle tissue. Which type of muscle tissue regulates blood involves the propagation of electrical impulses that are generated at vessel diameter? Smooth muscle moves food, urine, and reproductive tract secretions; controls the cell body and travel along the axon to reach other cells.

Distinguish between neurons and neuroglia. Activity 5. Move the slide so that a region of the epithelium that lines the lumen of the trachea is in the center of the field of view. Switch to high power to observe the epithelium in more detail. Table 5.

Why do you think epithelia and connective from harsh digestive chemicals. Hint: Refer to your text to Depending on the preparation, these identify the functions of connective tissue.

The epithelium is separated from The air we breathe contains particulate matter that can promote the connective tissue by a basal lamina. The mucus secreted by mucous cells goblet cells is a sticky substance that traps particles that you breathe in. The beating cilia then move this debris to the throat, where it is swallowed. These two-page spreads give students an efficient organization for managing their time. Students can study each module during the limited time they have in their busy schedules—ten minutes for one module now, ten minutes for another module later—checking off each module as they complete it.
