Human Anatomy Chart Pack

8 illustrated charts explores the basics of human anatomy - digestive, ear, eye, anatomy, nervous, respiratory, vascular, muscular-skeletal.

Skeletal System Posters
Humans have an internal skeleton made up ossified tissue called bones, supplemented by ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and moved by muscles.

Muscular System Posters
Muscles produce force and action, for both voluntary locomotion externally, and involuntary like the contractions of a beating heart.

Nervous System Posters
The brain and spinal cord make up the central nervous system. The peripheral nervous system is made up of the sensory and motor nerves conneting the brain and spinal cord to the sense organs, glands, muscles, and the rest of the body.

Respiratory System Posters
The upper respiratory tract includes the mouth, nose, nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx and trachea. The lower respiratory tract consists of the lungs, lung tissue, and structures in the lung (bronchi, bronhioles and alveoli). The diaphragm also aids in breathing.

Digestive System Posters
The digestive system consists of the mouth, throat, the esophagus, stomach, small intestine and the large intestine. The liver, pancreas and gallbladder also contribute to the digestive process.

Circulatory System Posters
The circulatory system consists of the heart, blood vessels and the blood.

Overview of Five Senses

One thing all senses share is that when they detect something, they translate it into a common form–the nerve signal, which travels along sensory nerves to the brain. These nerve messages are the body's “language.” Sense organs transform stimuli (such as sound waves, light rays, flavors, odors, or physical contact) into electrical nerve signals, which are instantly flashed to the brain for interpretation and identification.

Endocrine & Lymphatic Systems Charts

The endocrine system comprises the glands and certain tissues that secrete hormones, the ‘messengers’ that are released into the blood to travel to distant tissues and organs and elicit specific functions necessary for the organism.

The lymphatic system comprises bone marrow, spleen, thymus, lymph nodes, and lymphatic vessels that produce, store and carry white blood cells the fight infections and disease.

Teeth & Dental Posters
The primary purpose of teeth is to tear and chew food.

Sensory Nerves of the Skin Sense of Touch, Giclee Print

Skin - Touch Sensory Nerves

The skin is the body's largest organ. In an adult it weighs anywhere from six to ten pounds and measures as much as twenty square feet. Inside the dermis there are millions of microscopic receptors that tell us if something is hot or cold, heavy or light, rough or smooth. The dermis is really where the sense of touch takes place.
The skin contains a variety of nerve endings that detect touch, pressure, cold , heat, or pain. The nerve endings convert sensations into electrical impulses that are then sent to the brain.
When the skin is damaged, cells release chemicals. These activate nerve endings that detect pain.
The first touch receptors appear in the fetus by ten weeks. Neural connections are made in the third trimester.
