Fundamentals of Maternal Anatomy and Physiology
An introduction to anatomy and physiology specifically tailored to the needs of midwives
Existing resources often fall short in addressing the unique needs of midwives, focusing instead on broader healthcare perspectives. This book fulfils the demand for midwifery-specific knowledge in anatomy and physiology, offering a robust yet accessible introduction to key body systems.
Fundamentals of Maternal Anatomy and Physiology ensures a thorough understanding of the subject matter with full-colour illustrations, from the intricacies of the placenta to the dynamics of the musculoskeletal and cardiac systems. Supported by the latest research and aligned with professional best practices, this book is an indispensable companion for both aspiring and seasoned midwives. It provides insight and understanding of maternal anatomy and physiology applied to midwifery practice.
Suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate midwifery students, as well as midwives returning to practice, this resource is an invaluable asset in advancing anatomical and physiological knowledge within midwifery practice.
