Clinical Anatomy by Systems
Clinical Anatomy by Systems is the first anatomy textbook
featuring a systems-based approach geared to medical school programs
that have adopted an integrated, organ system-based curriculum. Based on
Dr. Snell's established and successful gross anatomy textbook, Clinical
Anatomy, this book uses most of the schematic illustrations and many of
the same pedagogical features to approach the study of anatomy from a
systems-based orientation.
Basic anatomy sections supply basic information for diagnostic and
treatment purposes and for performing medical procedures. Numerous
imaging examples and labeled photographs of cross-sectional anatomy are
included to help students think in terms of three-dimensional anatomy.
Surface anatomy sections provide surface landmarks of important anatomic
structures located beneath the skin and often bypassed by practicing
clinicians.
Physiologic and embryologic notes are interspersed with basic anatomical
material to point out the functional significance of the material and
provide developmental anatomy information that is essential for the
understanding of the structure and relationships of organs. Congenital
anomalies that may affect the respective organs are listed after these
notes.
Chapter opening outlines highlight the important concepts students
should take away from each chapter. End-of-chapter review questions and
answers provide valuable assistance in board and course review.
A free bound-in CD-ROM contains clinical notes, information on
congenital anomalies, radiographic anatomy, and clinical problem-solving
exercises. The clinical notes emphasize the structures that the
physician will encounter when making a diagnosis and treating a patient.
They also provide the anatomic knowledge necessary to understand many
procedures and techniques and note the anatomic "pitfalls" commonly
encountered. The problem-solving sections consist of case histories
followed by multiple-choice questions and answers with rationales.
