Základy anatomie 4b - Periferní nervový systém, smyslové orgány a kůže – Grim Miloš (2022)

The textbook provides basic information about the peripheral nervous system, sensory organs, and the anatomy of the skin. The chapter on the Peripheral Nervous System includes a description of peripheral and cranial nerves, their pathways, basic branching, and innervation areas. The description of all structures emphasizes the topographical and functional aspects with a focus on their application in clinical fields. The chapter on the Autonomic, Vegetative Nervous System has been updated with new data on the distribution of mediators and neuropeptides in individual autonomic plexuses and pathways. A new description of the internal autonomic plexuses of the heart and pelvic plexuses has also been included. The descriptions of sensory organs and the chapter dedicated to the anatomy of the skin and its derivatives have been expanded with new findings. A very significant part of the text consists of images that highlight essential information while less important details have been suppressed. With their help, it is easier to understand and study the essentials. The book is primarily intended for medical students, providing them with a systematic description of the mentioned structures, but it will also serve in bachelor's degree programs and other programs focused on healthcare issues.
