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.
