Book Description

Publication Date: September 8, 2000 | ISBN-10: 0443059985 | ISBN-13: 978-0443059988 | Edition: 1st

This new book fills the urgent need for an anatomy and physiology text relevant to the practice of midwifery. ESSENTIAL ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY FOR MATERNITY CARE is a straightforward, basic anatomy and physiology textbook aimed at midwives. It focuses on systems of the body and refers the reader to other sources for background reading in more specialized areas such as cell biology or genetics. In addition to basic anatomy and physiology, each chapter includes a separate section on associated disorders of pregnancy for that system.
