Description
This concise, well-illustrated textbook of gross anatomy emphasizes basic principles, functional aspects, and the clinical significance of anatomy. It follows a standard regional organization and covers the essential anatomy a medical student needs to know for class and for the USMLE. The illustrations consist of straightforward, detailed two-color diagrams that focus on functional anatomy. Clinical correlations throughout make anatomy concepts relevant to the practice of medicine. The easy-to-read style and student-friendly design elements aid the learning process by relating details to larger concepts. Easy-to-read style and helpful elements in the design make learning accessible. Introductory sentences begin every section of the book, summarizing the content of the section. Sentences that catalog features of anatomical structure are organized as bulleted lists. Numerous tables summarize detailed information and facilitate review. Descriptions of clinical disorders are set off by colored shading. Extensive illustrations - over 566 two-color line diagrams - highlight key concepts and clarify aspects of anatomy. Illustrations are constructed as diagrams to clearly show anatomic detail as well as spatial and functional relationships. Integrative frameworks introduce information in a meaningful way that facilitates an understanding of the medical implications of anatomy. Embryonic development is integrated into the descriptive anatomy where appropriate. The skeletal system is used as a framework for discussion of soft tissues. Discussions of hot topics such as embryology, functional anatomy, and modern imaging techniques are included.
