Description
This color illustrated reference for students of gross anatomy offers material in self-contained two-page spreads, illustrated with a total of 2,400 color anatomical illustrations and diagnostic images with call-out labels and captions noting clinical correlations. Material is presented in units on body regions: back, thorax, abdomen, pelvis and perineum, upper limb, lower limb, head and neck, and neuroanatomy. Each unit starts with surface anatomy, then represents bones, muscles, vasculature, and nerves, and closes with a topographical summary of the area. This second edition contains new sectional anatomy spreads at the end of each major unit; surface anatomy spreads now include region and reference lines. Some content has been reorganized to more closely parallel the progression and content of a typical dissection curriculum. Much of the artwork is new for this edition. The companion website contains labeled and unlabeled images from the book, plus timed self-tests. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
