This clearly-illustrated and practical text provides students with the core knowledge of anatomy as it relates to clinical practice. It also provides the anatomic knowledge necessary to understand many procedures and techniques and notes the anatomic "pitfalls" commonly encountered in the clinical setting.  More >><< Less

When coupled with Dr. Snell's companion review book, Clinical Anatomy: An Illustrated Review, the result is a powerful tool that helps students understand clinical anatomy and how to apply that knowledge to their licensing examination.

New to the Seventh Edition:

• Illustrated embryology sections added throughout, and particularly with respect to the abdominal cavity, pelvic cavity, and head and neck. Approximately 60 pages and 80 new pieces of art added that are devoted to embryology
• Clinical information in shaded boxes within chapter instead of at the end of the chapter. Provides practical application of anatomic facts that are essential in clinical practice. This emphasizes the structures that the physician will encounter when making a diagnosis and treating a patient

Some of the book's many outstanding features include:

• Chapters organized by body region, from surface to deep structure
• Clinical examples: short case report that dramatizes the relevance of anatomy in medicine
• Chapter outlines and chapter objectives
• Basic anatomy: basic information on gross anatomic structures that are of clinical importance
• Numerous imaging examples and labeled photographs of cross-sectional anatomy are included. This helps students think in terms of 3-dimensional anatomy
• Clinical problem solving: Cases with multiple choice questions and answers
• Radiographic anatomy: Radiographic appearance of important body structures is described and shown with labeled radiographs. The student is instructed on how to position the patient to obtain the best views and an example of each is shown. The most complicated radiographs are accompanied by line drawings for clearer presentation
• Surface anatomy: surface landmarks of important anatomic structures, many of which are located some distance beneath the skin. This is important since most physicians seldom explore tissues to any depth beneath the skin
• Review questions: Questions at the end of each chapter make the book a good resource for student board review and course review
• Review book can be used in conjunction with the text, or as a stand-alone study aid for course and boards
