begin a step-by-step exploration of the skeletal system by studying the illustrations, text, and tables that constitute the rest of this chapter. To help you learn to distinguish between the names of bones and the names of their markings, the bone names are highlighted in a boldface font an...
10 Skeletal tissues Introduction The skeletal system is formed from highly specialised types of supporting/connective tissue. The tissues are made up of collagen and acellular matrix, as well as the cells which synthesise them. Bone provides a rigid prot
If you want to bring your knowledge one step further than the level of a human body diagram, check out the following study units: Body surface anatomy Explore study unit Underneath the surface of the body, there is another ‘anatomical region’. This consists of the cavities of the human...
Schematic diagram of the anatomy of the alimentary tract of the rabbit. (A) The alimentary tract of the rabbit is adapted for the digestion of large quantities of fibrous food. The teeth continually grow and wear against each other to maintain their shape. The incisors are worn to a fine ...

Actual and potential therapeutic approaches to treat ALS and FTD pathologies. This schematic diagram recapitulates the major pharmacological therapeutic approaches that have been tested or are currently approved for treatment of ALS patients (highlighted in red). In addition, it shows the main novel app...
FIG. 6.1 Skeletal muscleThis diagram illustrates the arrangement of the basic components which make up a typical skeletal muscle. The individual muscle cells (muscle fibres) are grouped together into elongated bundles called fasciculi or fascicles with delicate supporting tissue called endomysium occup...
