Exploring how our bodies work and function. This series of 20 beautifully illustrated charts explores essential concepts of human physiology. Each chart graphically explains processes vital to the functioning of human beings. Ideal for students, patient education and the informed consumer, the series is suitable for the home, school library or doctor's surgery. The charts are available with metal eyelets for hanging.

This chart shows the continuing action of the heart as a cycle, augmented by the corresponding section of the QRST wave. Heart anatomy, electrical pathways and the QRST wave images and text help explain the cycle.

This chart depicts the anatomy of the respiratory system, from the upper respiratory tract to the alveoli. Gas exchange at the cellular level is explained. The section on inspiration and expiration is complemented by a diagram and text on lung volumes.

This chart starts by showing the location of the different types of muscle in the body. Anatomy of skeletal muscle is presented, along with diagrams describing muscle action in terms of levers. Sections on muscle action at the cellular level show the sliding filament theory and the neuromuscular synapse.

This chart presents an in-depth look at joints of the human body, starting with an anterior view of the skeleton, showing joint classifications. The shoulder is used to show internal and external structures of a joint. Muscle action, joint types and a section on synovial joints round out the topics.

This chart begins with an explanation of the structure of bone, from spongy and compact bone to osteocytes. The processes of endochondral bone growth and ossification, as well as bone remodelling, are graphically portrayed. A section on feedback and calcium levels is included.

This chart relates general nutrition and the body's metabolism, including basal metabolic rate and metabolic pathways. The lower part of the chart describes food metabolism, showing protein, carbohydrate and fat metabolism.

This chart begins with graphics and text describing the male and female reproductive systems. The menstrual cycle, ovulation and fertilisation are depicted, along with a section on sex determination.

This chart explains the concept of homeostasis using the body's responses to environmental changes in temperature. A diagram showing a generalised process of homeostasis is followed by graphic representations and descriptions of heat transfer modes. The bottom portion of the chart is devoted to the body's response to heat and cold.

This chart starts with a depiction of the endocrine system and basic information on hormones. Hormonal action is described by a generalised diagram, while the actions of specific types of hormones are shown at the cellular level. A section of the chart shows the feedback process involved in maintaining blood glucose levels.

This chart presents the anatomy of the tongue and upper respiratory tract. The receptors of gustation and olfaction are shown, including the synaptic connection. Concentration and its relationship to sensation is presented through a diagram.

This chart starts with an overview of the nervous system, including a representation of neurotransmitter pathways in the brain. The anatomy and function of the neuron provides a transition from gross anatomy to the cellular level. Neurotransmitter release and reuptake is shown through sequential graphics and text.

This chart begins with a section on the anatomy of the urinary system, the kidney and the nephron. Fluid filtration and the formation of filtrate are shown, along with a section on the feedback process of balancing fluid volume.

This chart is an in-depth look at how we sense our environment through various types of receptors. Stimulus transduction and tactile discrimination are portrayed through graphics and text. Sections explain receptor response and adaptation.

This chart begins with an overview of the lymphatic system, including the lymph node and lymphocytes. The three lines of defence are presented, including inflammation and non-specific immune response. A section graphically illustrates cell-mediated and antibody-mediated responses.

This chart presents the anatomy of the eye, from the eyeball to the rods and cones in the retina. Visual field and visual pathways shows how an image is put together by the brain. Accommodation and pupillary muscle action sections describe ways the eye adjusts to the environment.

The Understanding Menopause chart takes a look at the effects of menopause. Topics that are covered by graphics and text include basic anatomy of the female reproductive system, the role of estrogen, hot flashes, vaginal mucosa changes and the menstrual cycle. Heavy cover stock with protective varnish for durability.

The Eye chart features a prominent cut-away view of the eye, showing major internal features. The visible light spectrum diagram is accompanied by images of auxillary structures and the Canal of Schlemm. Diagrams help describe the vision functions of accommodation and the visual field. Heavy gauge 3ml lamination with sealed edges and two metal eyelets for hanging makes chart highly durable. Write-on/wipe-off with dry erase marker (not included).

The Ear chart displays the external and internal structure of the ear. Diagrams help to show several functions, including the physiology of hearing, equilibrium and balance. Heavy gauge 3ml lamination with sealed edges and two metal eyelets for hanging makes chart highly durable. Write-on/wipe-off with dry erase marker (not included).
