Description

For over thirty years "The Human Nervous System" has offered a concise, well-written text on neuroanatomy for both medical and allied health students. This successful title is organized into four major parts: cellular aspects of the nervous system, regional anatomy of the brain and spinal cord, sensory and motor systems, and blood supply. The Eighth Edition has been simplified to enhance coverage of the essentials and help students learn important facts and definitions. A free CD-ROM packaged with the book contains more than 400 interactive self-testing multiple-choice review questions, as well as expanded versions of selected chapters.
