Color Atlas of Human Anatomy, Volume 1: Locomotor System For over 45 years, the three-volume Color Atlas of Human Anatomy has provided readers with a compact review of the human body and its structures. It is ideal for studying, preparing for exams, and as a reference. The new, 8th edition of Volume 1: Locomotor System builds on a robust foundation of scientific knowledge, summarizing in its compactness both the topographic and systemic anatomy of the musculoskeletal system. Key highlights: Updated clinical notes provide important correlations between the anatomy of the musculoskeletal system and disease processes Proven concept of concise texts paired with more than 200 color plates of outstanding anatomical illustrations Overviews of anatomical terms and their Latin equivalents Volume 1: Locomotor System is accompanied by Volume 2: Internal Organs (ISBN 978-3-13-242448-7) and Volume 3: Nervous System and Sensory Organs (ISBN 978-3-13-242451-7).

Color Atlas of Human Anatomy, Volume 2: Internal Organs For over 45 years, the three-volume Color Atlas of Human Anatomy has provided readers with a compact review of the human body and its structures. It is ideal for studying, preparing for exams, and as a reference. The new, 7th edition of Volume 2: Internal Organs builds on a robust foundation of scientific knowledge, summarizing in its compactness the macroscopic and topographic anatomy and the functions of the internal organs. Key highlights: Proven concept of concise texts paired with more than 200 color plates of outstanding anatomical illustrations Microscopic anatomy-if necessary for understanding the respective organ Organ functions are explained in connection with the embryological development of the organs, so many anatomical relationships can be better understood For numerous cross-sectional anatomical illustrations, corresponding CT and MRI images are provided, which helps with the application of anatomical knowledge in clinical practice Volume 2: Internal Organs is accompanied by Volume 1: Locomotor System (ISBN 978-3-13-242443-3) and Volume 3: Nervous System and Sensory Organs (ISBN 978-3-13-242451-7).

A vast subject that includes a strange vocabulary and an apparent mass of facts, human anatomy can at first appear confusing and off-putting. But the basic construction of the human body - the skeleton, the organs of the chest and abdomen, the nervous system, the head and neck with its sensory systems and anatomy for breathing and swallowing - is vital for anyone studying medicine, biology, and health studies. In this Very Short Introduction Leslie Klenerman provides a clear, concise, and accessible introduction to the structure, function, and main systems of the human body, including a number of clear and simple illustrations to explain the key areas. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Das vorliegende Buch ist aus den Vorlesungen uber topographische Anatomie hervorgegangen, welche der Verfasser durch viele Jahre an der Deutschen Uni- versitat in Prag gehalten hat. Es waren auch Anregungen ehemaliger Hoerer, die zu dem Entschluss der Herausgabe dieser Vorlesungen gefuhrt haben. - Die Hauptaufgabe der topographischen Anl1tomie liegt in ihrer Beziehung zur praktischen Medizin, in erster Linie zur Chirurgie. So kann ihre Darstellung der Hinweise auf die praktische Bedeutung der berichteten Tatsachen nicht voellig entbehren; doch wurden solche Hinweise weitgehend eingeschrankt, schon mit Rucksicht darauf, dass das Buch ja zumeist Anfangern in die Hand kommen durfte. Eine mundliche Eroerterung des Gegenstandes wird sich auch vor Anfangern ausfuhrlicher uber Einzelheiten verbreiten durfen. Die geringen Mittel, welche heutzutage zumeist den Hochschulhoerern zur Verfugung stehen, liessen die moeglichste Bedachtnahme auf Beschrankung nach Umfang und Ausstattung wunschenswert erscheinen. Dabei bildete die Frage der Abbildungen nicht geringe Schwierigkeiten, zumal dem Verfasser heute weder ein eigenes Institut noch eine groessere Bibliothek zur Verfugung steht.
