Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology for Student Nurses

Product Information

As you can see from the picture above, neurons consist of a cell body, a nucleus, an axon and dendrites that connect to other neurons. These different types of epithelial tissue can have one layer or they can be stratified and have multiple layers. The term lateral is a relative and comparative directional term that is used to describe that a bodily part or anatomical structure is more away from the center of the body in comparison to another bodily part or anatomical structure. Imagine that if an English teacher would look at your newly formed sentences, she would have a heart attack.

In syndesmoses, the connecting fibers are longer than those of sutures; thus the joint has more “give”; the joint connecting the distal ends of the tibia and fibula is a syndesmosis.The diaphysis, or shaft, makes up most of the bone’s length and is composed of compact bone; it is covered and protected by a fibrous connective tissue membrane, the periosteum.

Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology for Nursing Practice

So we suggest you purchase a more physiology-centric book if you’re looking for something in that direction. The term proximal is a relative and comparative directional term that is used to describe that a bodily part or anatomical structure is closer to the body mass than another bodily part or anatomical structure. Similarly, an ‘epigastric pain’ is instantly appreciated by other healthcare professionals compared to ‘abdominal pain’. Running through the central cavity of the vertebral column is the delicate spinal cord, which the vertebral column surrounds and protects.

Since reading ‘in layers’ is a preview, you need to go back and read every single word for a complete understanding. At the distal end of the humerus is the medial trochlea, which looks somewhat like a spool, and the lateral ball-like capitulum; both of these processes articulate with the bones of the forearm. Nursing students, immerse yourself in the intricate dance of inhalation and exhalation that fuels every living moment.
