Exploring The Human Brain: The Cranial Nerves, a state of the art eBook, combines brilliant videos, interactive art, animations, and knowledge checks into a spectacular book for anyone interested in a deep introduction to the human cranial nerves. Author Tina K. Veale, PhD. leaves no stone unturned.

The eBook starts with two chapters introducing the human nervous system and the cranial nerves, including an amazing video illustrating cranial nerve attachments before the brain is removed from the cranium. The book follows with twelve chapters covering each of the cranial nerves. Key words are linked to an extensive glossary; you can pop-up the info directly on page or link into the glossary to explore related topics.

A 50 question final exam chapter validates the readers comprehension. The knowledge checks and exam combine true/false, multiple choice questions and labeling of images and artwork to test the readers understanding of the chapter. 144 pages.
