Infos

The Reproductive System at a Glance is a comprehensive guide
to normal reproductive biology and associated pathophysiology in
both sexes. Concise, easy to read, and clearly structured, the
double-page spreads progress from basic science to clinical
abnormalities, and covers endocrine production and action, within
one short volume. Chapters on disorders summarise
epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment.

This new edition of The Reproductive System at a
Glance:

* Is fully revised and updated throughout to reflect
recent developments in practice

* Now features histological and pathological slides to
complement the "at a glance" style explanatory
illustrations

* Now features radiologic studies to supplement the text
in selected chapters

* Contains more detailed coverage of maternal
adaptations to pregnancy

* Includes a companion website at
www.ataglanceseries.com/reproduction featuring self-assessment
multiple choice questions, bonus single answer questions and
flashcards

The Reproductive System at a Glance is an ideal guide for
students studying both endocrine and reproductive subjects, and
teaches the foundation concepts for the obstetrics and gynaecology
rotation, helping health professionals and students achieve a broad
and practical understanding of the topic.
