It's big, it's colorful, and it's got everything from your gallbladder and heart to your muscles, bones, blood and brain. Clear and helpful diagrams detail conditions from acne to malignant melanoma. This is a reassuring, easily understood text on our bodies as they exist in their ideal state, as well as common disorders and treatments. It's nice to brush up on anatomy without tests to sweat, but it's also great to have a doctor on your shelf to dispel those 3 a.m. certainties of imminent disease and doom.

One of the best book I have ever bought........2007-05-27
The book is well organized, language is simple, all pictures are well worked on and includes the most of the things that ordinary people want to know. 'Perfect' is the best word to decribe it.
The Human Body (An Illustrated Guide to its Structure, Function, and Disorders).......2007-01-14
A very good book for the lay-person to use as a reference to the human body, its structure, and functionality. The illustrations significantly help as aid to understanding. In fact, it was the many illustrations of the book that sold me on it.

Structure and Function of the Body.......2007-09-13
Be careful. I ended up with the study guide and not the book that I had intended to buy. Be sure you have checked the names of both authors as Thibideau is listed as author but the study guide is written by Linda Swisher...
Watchout! Deceptive trick. Is only the "Study Guide".......2006-04-09
This is not the book. All you will get is a bunch of worksheets and crossword puzzles that go with the book titled "Structure and Function of the Body".
An informative and simple exploration of the human body.......2000-04-15
Thibodeau explore the systems of the human body in a logical manner. He starts off with an overview of anatomical terms and then discusses the structure of human cells. Chapters are presented on the skin and membranes of the body and followed by the skeletal, muscular, nervous and endocrine systems and the blood, circulatory systems and Lymphatic systems. Thibodeau then discusses the Respiratory, Digestive and Urinary systems. Chapters are included on Nutrition and Metabolism, Fluid and Electrolyte Balance, Acid Base Balance, Reporoductive Systems and Growth and Development.
Each of the chapters includes an outline, objectives, discussion of the topic, a summary, glossary of new words and a chapter test. Graphics and diagrams in the book are clear and assist understanding of the topic.
Book Description
Anatomy and physiology, a key part of the core curriculum in surgical technology, is the central basic science course around which the knowledge of surgical technology revolves. However, most conventional A&P books do not cover the surgical aspects of anatomy and physiology that the Core Curriculum for Surgical Technology requires. Surgical Anatomy and Physiology for the Surgical Technologist provides the basic concepts of A&P and applies them to practical surgery. Throughout the book, examples show how the anatomy and physiology of a particular body system or organ relates to a surgical procedure. This resource includes case studies, review questions, key terms, objectives for each chapter, and information boxes that tie specific anatomical elements to surgical practice. This book meets the requirements of the current edition of the Core Curriculum for Surgical Technology.
Book Description
Human Body Systems: Structure, Function and Environment is written for readers who want to learn about their bodies. Focusing primarily on the organ systems that comprise the body, readers will learn the main parts of each system and how they operate, as well as what happens when things go wrong.
Book Description

Body Structures and Functions, Ninth Edition.......2000-01-10
I admit that I did not read this entire book. I found so many errors in what I did read that I did not want to continue for fear of learning incorrect information without realizing it.
Some errors I found are as follows:
Page 3: "The dorsal aspect of the foot is the back or sole of the foot." Ask any doctor, look in any medical dictionary, or check out any picture of foot anatomy. The dorsal aspect of the foot is the back or top of the foot, not the sole of the foot. The sole of the foot is the plantar or volar aspect.
Page 4: "For example, the hand is proximal to the wrist." No. The hand is not proximal to the wrist. The hand is distal to the wrist, and the wrist is proximal to the hand.
Page 37: "sonagram" The correct spelling is "sonogram."
Page 106: "peroneus logus" The correct spelling is "longus."
Page 4: The book lists the appendix as being found in both the abdominal and pelvic cavities. However, it is only found in the pelvic cavity.
Page 36: "A malignant tumor or cancer is when cells move rapidly from one place to another. This process is called metastases." The correct term here would be "metastasis."
If you are taking a course that uses this book as its textbook, please make sure the instructor knows enough about anatomy to be able to find all the errors for you.
