Atlas of Anatomy: Edition 5
Despre această carte electronică
Rapid advances in medical research and technology have led to innovative medical procedures, and in turn, emerging trends in medical education. Novel developments highlight the importance of once seemingly irrelevant anatomic details, while also impacting the scope of anatomy curricula. To reflect these changes, each chapter in Atlas of Anatomy, Fifth Edition has been meticulously updated to ensure content is both relevant and reflective of the role of anatomy in contemporary medical practice.
The book features seven anatomical sections with a total of 51 chapters, with updates, additions, and revisions incorporated throughout the more than 800 pages. The Table of Contents is enhanced with reader-friendly chapter and page references for all tables and clinical boxes. To mirror the current trend in muscular attachment terminology, origin and insertion are replaced with the more accurate and descriptive terms superior attachment/inferior attachment or proximal attachment/distal attachment. Over 2,100 illustrations unmatched in both the realistic depiction of anatomy and the three-dimensionality of the figures enhance recognition and memorization of structures.
Key Features:
- NEW! Reorganization of the neurovascular spreads in the abdomen and pelvis units
- NEW! Expansion of the sections on the female breast and perineum
- NEW! Added brainstem cross section layouts
- NEW! A list of common eponyms with their official anatomic equivalents
Like the widely acclaimed prior editions, this stunningly illustrated textbook provides an indispensable anatomy resource for medical and physical therapy students, as well as robust classroom teaching tool for anatomy courses.
