Functional Anatomy

The present book is the translated and moderately extended version of the 10th Hungarian edition of Réthelyi Miklós – Szentágothai János, Functionális anatomia, published by MEDICINA in 2014. The topics of the first two chapters remained unchanged, they provide the basic elements of embryology (the events of the first 8 weeks) and of histology (fine structure of the epithelial-, connective-, muscle- and nerve tissues). The third chapter gives a short description of man in general. Bones, joints and muscles, including embryology, are described in chapter four. The presentation of the anatomy and embryology of the cardiovascular and lymphatic systems in chapter five begins with the heart and concludes with the distribution of the lymph vessels.
