Emphasizing function, and useful with or without the aid of dissection materials, this book presents anatomy in a form that will facilitate rapid recall of knowledge throughout a medical career. It includes general chapters on thinking about and experimentally examining tissues, on medical imaging, and on development. The limbs and spine are treated in systematic rather than purely regional terms. Concise, authoritative, and lavishly illustrated, this volume will appeal to medical students, dental students, and physiotherapists.

<p>This concise, authoritative text emphasizes functional and living anatomy and its imaging in medical practice, an approach which allows readers to progress through the fundamentals of anatomy with or without the use of dissection supplements. The central chapters provide 13 seminars requiring two to three hours of study, systematically treating thoracic, abdominal, pelvic, and perineal organs, with introductions to their development. Each seminar also contains questions designed to help students monitor their progress. The text is richly illustrated with radiographs and endoscopic views of both healthy and diseased organs. Plastic covers and a spiral binding facilitate use of the book in the laboratory.</p>

<p>This anatomy text focuses on the head and neck. Introductory chapters discuss tissues, medical imaging, and general development. The main part of the book offers 15 informative seminars, each requiring two-to-three hours of study. Seminars one through eight provide systematic treatment of structural features and movements of the head and neck, as well as the upper respiratory and alimentary tracts. Seminars nine through sixteen cover the interior of the skull, the orbit, face, and neck. For greater understanding, frequent illustrated accounts of organ development are included. A special section is devoted to cross-sectioned scans, which are becoming increasingly important . This volume concludes the three-part series that also studies the musculo-skeletal system (Volume 1) and the thorax and abdomen (Volume 2).</p>
