THE ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE HUMAN BODY - VOLUME 2...continued

CONTENTS:

• 32 Overhead-Transparencies, size 22 x 28 cm, comprising 101 colour pictures, mostly with several component figures (anatomical pictures, photomicro- and macrographs, nature photographs, human photographs, electron micrographs, X-ray photographs, drawings, diagrams, tables, scenes, test data and results). The colour pictures were prepared by university illustrators specialising in this field.
• Sketch and work-sheets with semi-diagrammatic designs and texts. Teacher may take photocopies from the sheets and use for classroom work and tests.
• Brochure with depictured explanatory comments for the teacher. All in strong plastic file with ring-mechanism.
