Clinical Anatomy By Systems uses most of the schematic illustrations and many of the same pedagogical features to approach the study of anatomy from a systems-based orientation.
Features:
- Chapter opening outlines that highlight the important areas covered in each chapter
- Basic anatomy sections supply fundamental information for diagnostic and treatment purposes and for performing medical procedures
- Surface anatomy sections provide surface landmarks of important anatomic structures located beneath the skin
- End-of-chapter review questions and answers make the book a valuable resource for student board and course reviews
- Free CD included containing clinical notes, information on congenital anomalies, radiographic anatomy, and clinical problem-solving exercises, all of which correlate directly with the text
- Problem-solving sections consist of histories followed by multiple-choice questions and answers
- Heavily illustrated with figures and photographs of surface anatomy models and dissections
