Download or read book The Anatomy and Biology of the Human Skeleton written by D. Gentry Steele and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handsome volume is the first photographically illustrated textbook to present for both the student and the working archaeologist the anatomy of the human skeleton and the study of skeletal remains from an anthropological perspective. It describes the skeleton as not just a structure, but a working system in the living body. The opening chapter introduces basics of osteology, or the study of bones, the specialized and often confusing terminology of the field, and methods for dealing scientifically with bone specimens. The second chapter covers the biology of living bone: its structure, growth, interaction with the rest of the body, and response to disease and injury. The remainder of the book is a head-to-foot, structure-by-structure, bone-by-bone tour of the skeleton. More than 400 photographs and drawings and more than 80 tables illustrate and analyze features the text describes. In each chapter structures are discussed in detail so that not only can landmarks of bones be identified, but their functions can be understood and their anomalies identified as well. Each bone's articulating partners are listed, and the sequence of ossification of each bone is presented. Descriptive sections are followed by analyses of applications: how to use specific bones to estimate age, stature, gender, biological affinities, and state of health at the time of the individual's death. Anthropologists, archaeologists, and paleontologists as well as physicians, medical examiners, anatomists, and students of these disciplines will find this an invaluable reference and textbook.

Download or read book The Anatomy of the Human Skeleton Classic Reprint written by J. Ernest Frazer and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Anatomy of the Human Skeleton It is not necessary to lay emphasis on the importance of a knowledge of the skeleton as an integral part of the study of human anatomy, and, in the literature bearing upon the subject, we find masterly accounts of the constituent bones which rank as classics in the education of the student. In this book I have ventured to wander in some degree from the well-trodden road and to lead the reader by other ways to the comprehension of his subject. My intention has been to induce him to think of the bones as they exist in the body rather than as they lie on the table before him, and to do this I have laid stress - because he must use the prepared specimens - on the meaning of small details and on the relations of the bone, and have relegated the pure description of the dry bone to a secondary place: in other words, each part of the skeleton has been used as a peg on which to hang a consideration of the neighbouring structures, in the hope that this may afford a new point of view to the reader and enable him to grasp the intimate connection between them. Such a way of regarding the skeleton opens up a very extensive field of description, and within the limits of a students hand-book it is only possible to deal with some out of the many points which offer themselves for development, but I hope that those of which I have treated in this volume may be of value to the student and may lead him to think of the skeleton as something more than a dry subject for study, and to search for reasons for the hundred and one abstract and concrete qualities which his own observation will prove any particular bone to possess. If it has this effect, one of my objects in writing the book will have been attained. The majority of the illustrations, which the generosity of Messrs. J. & A. Churchill has enabled me to insert, are intended merely to help the student to apply the descriptions in the text to the actual specimens: if, in spite of their many artistic imperfections, they are of use in this respect, I shall be content. They have been drawn from specimens in my possession or in the Anatomical Department in the School of this Hospital. It is a pleasure to acknowledge my indebtedness to my colleague, Dr. R. H. Robbins, for his careful reading of the proofs, to Mr. R. M. Handfield-Jones for the same service in a part of the work, and to my wife for help in preparing the book for the press.
