You can search the library's catalog to find both books and articles. Please be aware that it sometimes appears that we own a copy of book, but it is the book review. If we own the title, "Texas A&M University-San Antonio Library" will appear on the last line of the citation. The library's catalog also gathers titles that appear within San Antonio area libraries and throughout the world. These books will either have "At San Antonio Libraries" or "At other libraries worldwide" on the last line. Any book that is tagged "At San Antonio Libraries" can be checked out by using a TexShare card. For any book that is tagged "At other libraries worldwide" an Interlibrary Loan request can be made to get that book to the patron.
Understanding Anatomy & Physiology
by
For almost 3,000 years, scientists have explored the depths of the human body: not just how it is put together, but how and why it functions as it does. Exploration continues today with new discoveries further illuminating how various cells and organ systems not only work but work together to support human life. Most recently, a global pandemic focused attention on the immune system, and researchers scrambled to understand how the immune system responded, or sometimes failed to respond, to a virus to which it had never before been exposed. This edition of Understanding Anatomy & Physiology contains more information than ever about the immune system, including types of immunity, how epidemics and pandemics develop, and how vaccines work. However, before you can understand a body in illness, you must understand how it functions in health. For example, without a thorough knowledge of fluid and electrolyte balance, how can you explain why chronic vomiting or diarrhea can cause an abnormal heartbeat? By the end of this course, understanding the body's form and function should become second nature
Hands-On Anatomy
by
Although palpation is a foundational skill for many healthcare disciplines, few resources provide comprehensive anatomical information and relate it to real-world clinical situations. With its detailed descriptions of musculoskeletal anatomy, instructions for palpating anatomical structures, depictions of basic injuries, and correlations with clinical practice, Hands-on Anatomy successfully bridges this gap. Hands-on Anatomy targets undergraduate or graduate students who have completed an introductory anatomy course and are beginning to apply their anatomical knowledge to the human body, as well as healthcare professionals engaged in patient assessment and treatment. Organized by region of the body, chapters discuss skeletal landmarks, muscles, ligaments, and neurovascular structures, with a focus on how to palpate these structures. Additionally, guides on assessing the range of motion of joints are provided, along with descriptions of common clinical scenarios relating to each body area. The text is supplemented with images of skeletal landmarks and muscular anatomy, photos of surface landmarks and range of motion actives, and end-of-chapter review questions to ensure understanding and retention of what was described.
Cranial Nerves: Anatomy, Function and Clinical Significance
by
Cranial Nerves: Anatomy, Function and Clinical Significance opens with a summary of the current data on the clinical anatomy and developmental anomalies of the first cranial nerve, the olfactory nerve. Following this, the authors provide an overview of the second cranial nerve, the optic nerve, which is a vital component of the visual pathway. The seventh cranial nerve, the facial nerve, which contains the somatic motor and visceral motor, as well as special sensory and general sensory fibers is discussed. The 10th cranial nerve, the vagus nerve, is explored in closing, focusing on its motor functions responsible for the innervations of the outer ear canal, pharynx, larynx, heart, lung, gastrointestinal tract, stomach, pancreas and liver.
Our Intelligent Bodies
by
Human intelligence isn't just located in the brain. Our bodies are marvelously sophisticated and complex, with a variety of autonomic systems that help maintain our health without us ever having to think about them. But how exactly do all these physiological structures actually work? In Our Intelligent Bodies, physiology professor Gary F. Merrill takes you on a guided tour through the human body. You'll learn how our eyes are designed to detect unimaginably small bursts of light and how our ears contain bundles of tiny hairs, each one attuned to different sound frequencies. You'll also discover how our hearts are smart enough to compensate for skipped beats and irregular rhythms and how our pulmonary system adjusts for low oxygen levels. You'll even find out why the gut is sometimes called the "second brain," its reflexes controlled by millions of neurons. Written in a fun, easy-to-comprehend style and filled with illuminating analogies, Our Intelligent Bodies also brings readers up to date on cutting-edge research into the wonders of human physiology. It will give you a new appreciation for the smart decisions our bodies are making when our brains aren't paying attention.
Grant's Atlas of Anatomy
by
Illustrations drawn from real specimens, presented in surface-to-deep dissection sequence, set Grant's Atlas of Anatomy apart as the most accurate illustrated reference available for learning human anatomy and referencing in dissection lab. A recent edition featured re-colorization of the original Grant's Atlas images from high-resolution scans, also adding a new level of organ luminosity and tissue transparency. The dissection illustrations are supported by descriptive text legends with clinical insights, summary tables, orientation and schematic drawings, and medical imaging. Renowned, high-resolution, dynamically colored illustrations organized in dissection sequence enable the formation of 3D constructs for each body region and provide detailed, realistic reference during dissection. Tables detail muscles, vessels, and other anatomic information in an easy-to-use format ideal for review and study. Enhanced medical imaging includes more than 100 clinically significant MRIs, CT images, ultrasound scans, and corresponding orientation drawings to help students confidently apply the laboratory experience to clinical rotations. Color schematic illustrations reinforce the relationships of structures and anatomical concepts in vibrant detail.
What the Body Knows
by
A leading scientist's guide to the way our immune system protects us--but only most of the time""What is our immune system, and how does it work? A vast array of cells, proteins and chemicals spring into action whenever our bodies are damaged, but immunity is not something you can see, touch or feel. It can fight off malicious bacteria and viruses, locate cancerous growths, and even re-wire our brains - but sometimes our own tissues can get caught in its crossfire, with catastrophic consequences. Humans may be the most disease-ridden animals on the planet. Professor John Trowsdale shows how the immune system protects us, and how our bodies invest huge resources to keep it running. Immunity influences how we age, and controls how we learn to fight off recurring diseases, and how our bodies respond to chronic conditions such as heart disease and dementia. But, in the case of allergies and autoimmune conditions, it can also easily get things wrong. What the Body Knows is a hugely readable account of a fascinating phenomenon--one which, for good or for ill, impacts every aspect of our lives.

Eve
by
In Eve, Cat Bohannon answers questions scientists should have been addressing for decades. With boundless curiosity and sharp wit, Bohannon covers the past 200 million years to explain the specific science behind the development of the female sex. Eve is not just a sweeping revision of human history, it's an urgent and necessary corrective for a world that has focused primarily on the male body for far too long. Bohannon's findings, including everything from the way C-sections in the industrialized world are rejiggering women's pelvic shape to the surprising similarities between pus and breast milk, will completely change what you think you know about evolution . . . and women. A 21st-century update of Our Bodies, Ourselves, Eve offers a paradigm shift in our thinking about what the female body is and why it matters
