Welcome to the Bionalogy website!

This resource is dedicated to students and practitioners
of nursing and midwifery.

 

The aim is to make use of metaphors, models, and analogies where appropriate as a way of understanding biological themes linked with health care.

There are two main sections:

1 Understanding the body - this is about the general structure and function of the body after birth

2 Prenatal development - this is about development of the body before birth
