History and Bibliography of Anatomic Illustration in Its Relation to Anatomic Science and the Graphic Arts


Book Description

In this classical work Choulant traced the evolution of anatomical illustration from the early schematic plates up to his own time, including a valuable bibliography. This English edition, translated by Frank, is enriched by the chapter on anatomical illustration since Choulant, by Garrison. -- H.W. Orr.

Each section is fully illustrated throughout and is supported by extensive self-assessment questions which allow the reader to assess their own knowledge of the topic and perfect their exam techniques. New to the Master Dentistry series, this volume addresses oral anatomy and its related histology, physiology and biochemistry and is perfect for both undergraduate students and post-graduates preparing for the MJDF. - Quick reference revision aid for dental students – ideal for exam preparation! - Covers the 'essentials' of the subject to a level that is expected with the GDC's curriculum outlined in the First Five Years document. - Each chapter provides a brief overview of the topic and lists the essential learning objectives for that area of study. - Presents key anatomical, biochemical and physiological material in a useful, integrated, clinically relevant format. - Includes extensive self-testing material – true false questions, extended matching questions, picture questions, and essay questions – enabling readers to assess their knowledge and perfect exam techniques. - Contains unique, 'mind-map' summary sheets to provide crucial information in a pictorial format to further promote learning.







Molecules of the Cytoskeleton


Book Description

Research into the cytoskeleton has produced a long list of polypeptides, whose properties "in vitro" have been studied in varying degrees of detail. The aim of this book is to introduce students to this array of proteins.




Hair and Hair Diseases


Book Description

Hair is the subject of this book, including the anatomy of the hair follicle, developmental stages, analyzed by light and electron microscopy, hair ultrastructure, nerve and blood supply, specialized hairs and hair organs, and a review of the present techniques to cultivate hair follicle cells in vitro. In the clinical part several chapters describe the most important diseases and possibilities for treatment. Hair care products and their toxicology are the subject of further sections.

Finally, surgical techniques for hair transplantation are discussed. This book is a standard textbook for everything pertaining to hair under normal and pathological conditions.




Developmental and Evolutionary Aspects of the Neural Crest


Book Description

Brings together important contributions by professionals in a range of fields. Its three major sections focus on the developmental biology of the neural crest; recent advances in this area, and how current insights are contributing to our understanding of the development and organization of the nervous system; and the relationship between the neural crest and skeletal evolution. Topics discussed include interactions between cephalic neural crest and mesodermal populations, the role of tissue interactions in the evolution of the vertebrate head, tooth development in the mammalian embryo in relation to the neural crest, and much more. Extensively illustrated with over 130 pieces of artwork.
