About the Book
Gilroy (surgery and cell biology, U. of Massachusetts School of Medicine) and fellow anatomists characterize the illustrations created by Markus Voll and Karl Wesker as: .,."[O]ne of the most significant additions to anatomical education in the past 50 years." With detailed full-color depictions based on the latest dissection approaches, they are exemplars for medical illustrators as well as medical students. Proceeding from the back through the autonomic nervous system, each region of the human body is built up from the skeletal framework to the surface anatomy. The atlas includes clinical images, summary tables (e.g., of muscles and nerves), surface anatomy review questions with an answer key, and access to an online study aid.
Atlas of Anatomy contains everything students need to successfully tackle the daunting challenges of anatomy.
Complete with exquisite, full-color illustrations by award-winning artists Markus Voll and Karl Wesker, the atlas is organized to lead students step-by-step through each region of the body. Each region opens with the foundational skeletal framework. The subsequent chapters build upon this foundation, adding the muscles, then organs, then vessels, then nerves, and finally presenting topographic anatomy for a comprehensive view. Each unit closes with surface anatomy accompanied by questions that ask the reader to apply knowledge learned for the real-life physical examination of patients.
