Anatomie in 30 Sekunden

We all know about eyes or elbows, but what are the duodenum, basal ganglia, or islets of Langerhans for? Anatomy in 30 Seconds gets to the heart of the matter: How does our body work? Whether you are a medical or biology student, an artist, an athlete, or even a patient wanting to understand what the doctor means by plexus or humerus – this book not only goes under the skin but also explains how our skin functions. The author breaks down the components of our body, from bones to the brain, into 30-second summaries, presenting each topic concisely over two pages with text and illustrations – a contemporary way to learn about the structures and systems that make up our body. With detailed illustrations and biographies of medical pioneers, this book offers a compact compendium for the interested layperson. Gabrielle M. Finn is a lecturer.
