Ross & Wilson Anatomy And Physiology In Health And Illness

by Kathleen J.W. Wilson

The purpose of this book is to provide nurses and other health workers with knowledge of the structure and functions of the human body and the changes that take place when diseases disrupt normal processes. In this edition large parts of the text have been rewritten to update subject matter and provide new material. Its purpose, as in the previous edition, is to describe, not to prescribe: diagnostic procedures, medical treatments and nursing care are not included. Chapter 1 continues to provide a brief overview of the interrelationships between the body systems, the stylised illustrations showing the links between the various parts. Later chapters provide anatomically accurate illustrations, more detailed physiological material and description of the associated, commonly diseases. The latter includes abnormal physiology, the likely progress and the probable outcome of untreated disease. In this edition the pathophysiological material has been placed at the end of each chapter so that, in all cases, the abnormal follows the normal. It is designed for nursing and paramedical students; radiographers; occupational therapists; school biology students. An ELBS/LPBB edition is available.

This book is an excellent grounding in anatomy and physiology for current and prospective A level students. This book is clear, concise, and perfect for passing A-Level exams on human biology.

Excellent book for both learning and refreshing the body system that is essential to know in order to build upon to learn what is illness or what is a normal body process and why it is happening. A go to book that I have used often over a period of time and cannot see me ever not using it. From basic cells to organs and complete bodily systems. Would recommend for all health areas of care for essential knowledge.

It was a nice review of what I already know, but it also had a lot of information that I never knew before. Definitely an advanced anatomy book. I bought it so I could keep it in my home library as a resource.
