This visual review of the fundamentals of regional anatomy is intended for students and practitioners alike. In this edition are many illustrations colour-enhanced to show arteries, nerves, veins and lymphatic drainage. The outline format text on the left-hand pages corresponds to the illustrations presented on the right-hand pages. The written material is functionally oriented and clinically informative, and stresses the need for understanding the essentials of anatomy. Over 1000 original line drawings provide a multifaceted, three-dimensional effect, emphasizing the beauty and function of the body The deep-sea dimension -- The scale of the task -- The vertical dimension -- Differences between marine and terrestrial ecosystems -- Measurements and methods -- Biological sampling -- Living, growing, and daylight -- The fuel source: primary production -- The seasonal cycle -- Measurements of primary production -- Grazing and secondary production -- Life at the bottom -- The benthic environment -- Sampling the benthos -- Food resources -- Hydrothermal yents and cold seeps -- The hadal zone -- Spatial heterogeneity -- Patterns and changes -- Global views and patterns -- Horizontal distributions -- Vertical distributions -- On being efficient -- Energy management -- Maximizing energy input-how to eat a lot -- Maximizing assimilation efficiency -- Minimizing energy output-how to keep up in the water -- Metabolism, energy, and pressure -- Feeling and hearing -- Sensing vibrations -- Vibrations in water -- The hydrodynamic receptor system of fishes -- Sound production by fishes -- Invertebrate hydrodynamic receptors -- Sounds of marine mammals -- Electroreception and magnetic cues -- Chemical messages -- Taste or smell? -- Chemical cues and receptors -- Seeing in the dark -- Light in the ocean -- Eyes and their design conflicts -- Fish -- Invertebrates -- Camouflage, colour, and lights -- Camouflage and colour -- Lights in a dark environment: bioluminescence -- Size, sex, and seasonality -- Life histories -- Fecundity and egg size -- Body size -- Sex -- Juvenile characters (progenesis) -- Seasonality -- A wonderful variety of life: biodiversity of the deep-sea fauna -- Origins and habitats -- What is biodiversity?
