A solid knowledge of anatomy is essential within any number of fields
throughout healthcare. A core discipline of all medical degrees, anatomy
is generally taught in a series of laboratory sessions and lectures,
requiring students to identify a particular organ or structure, explain
its function and describe its relation to normal physiology. Students
are expected to learn - and practicing clinicians required to remember -
an enormous amount of anatomical information.
A Visual Guide to Clinical Anatomy is an extraordinary visual
reference guide, containing more than 900 high-quality illustrations of
the human anatomy. Author and illustrator Robert H. Whitaker draws upon
his 30 years of experience as an anatomy demonstrator and lecturer at
Cambridge University to present a simple, easy-to-understand approach to
both teaching and learning the subject. Each illustration is designed to
provide a summary of key anatomical and clinical information of a
specific topic or clinical condition. A comprehensive yet user-friendly
anatomy resource, this volume:
- Covers the major areas of human anatomy
- Provides succinct, clinically relevant information for each
illustration
- Offers clear and accessible synopses of anatomical structures
A Visual Guide to Clinical Anatomy is a valuable addition to the
bookshelf of any medical student, instructor, surgical trainee,
physician, or healthcare practitioner.
