By Lauralee Sherwood
Basics OF body structure, 3rd version, is predicated on Lauralee Sherwood's top promoting 5th version of HUMAN body structure: FROM CELLS TO platforms. whereas either texts conceal a similar key themes in a present, attractive, and clinically appropriate demeanour, basics OF body structure is briefer, decrease in point, and calls for much less of a historical past in chemistry, physics, and math than its sister textual content. crucial content material is equipped round the primary subject of homeostasis, as validated by means of the system-specific homeostatic version that opens every one bankruptcy, in addition to the "Focus on Homeostasis" that completes every one bankruptcy. New to this variation are process-oriented figures, created to assist state-of-the-art visible freshmen. those figures comprise step by step descriptions summarizing and integrating a variety of points of crucial thoughts. one other noteworthy addition is the comparative and early advent of "Principles of Neural and Hormonal Communication"-a NEW bankruptcy four. This version additionally showcases an emphasis on real-life reports, utilizing analogies in addition to new "Clinical be aware" icons, which flag clinically appropriate fabric. The textual content can also be supported by means of PhysioEdge 2-arguably the simplest scholar CD-ROM at the market-which ties suggestions and paintings including narration and animation. This loose CD-ROM has been revised to incorporate new media routines and tutorials, and is built-in with this 3rd version to motivate scholars make optimum use of the on hand media. teachers tend to locate necessary our Multimedia supervisor with teacher Resources-a CD containing ALL line paintings from the textual content, over forty animations, digital types of teacher fabrics, and Microsoft PowerPoint lectures.

Example text
There are three types of muscle tissue: skeletal muscle, which moves the skeleton; cardiac muscle, which pumps blood out of the heart; and smooth muscle, which encloses and controls movement of contents through hollow tubes and organs, such as movement of food through the digestive tract. • Nervous tissue consists of cells specialized for initiating and transmitting electrical impulses, sometimes over long distances. These electrical impulses act as signals that relay information from one part of the body to another.

7. Temperature. Body cells function best within a narrow temperature range. If cells are too cold, their functions slow down too much, and worse yet, if they get too hot their structural and enzymatic proteins are impaired or destroyed. CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE BODY SYSTEMS TO HOMEOSTASIS The 11 body systems contribute to homeostasis in the following important ways (● Figure 1-6): 1. The circulatory system is the transport system that carries materials such as nutrients, O2, CO2, wastes, electrolytes, and hormones from one part of the body to another.
