Anatomy. A Regional Atlas of the Human Body.

Key Points

To provide an overview of the anatomical and physiological concepts pertaining to the human body.
Introduced 18 chapters covering topics like development, morphology, and neurochemistry.
Included detailed indexes for quick reference of subjects and authors.
Reviewed original papers published on adrenal medullary chromaffin cells during 1983-1985.
Identified valuable insights for neurobiologists and neuroendocrinologists from analyzed topics.
Highlighted areas where the publication could be debated, such as cellular composition of the adrenal medulla.
Recommends the atlas as a quick reference for research in related fields.

Abstract

years 1983-5 inclusive.The author provides a brief introduction to each of the 18 chapters that relate in turn to developmental, morphological, chemical and functional topics including secretory mechanisms and their control, associated neurotransmitters and neuropeptides.Although one would strongly disagree with the occasional statement, such as "the adrenal medulla ... is composed of a homogenous population of catecholamine-containing cells" (p.66), the publication is a very useful and valuable one for those working on these and related topics.Furthermore, its value is greatly enhanced by the excellent indexes which related to both subject and author.Stephen Carmichael is to be congratulated on producing a quick reference source of the many original papers published on adrenal medullary chromaffin cells during 1983, 1984 and 1985: it is highly recommended for research neurobiologists, neuroendocrinologists and neurochemists working in these and related fields.
