Author Description
Emphasizing function, and useful with or without the aid of dissection materials, this book presents anatomy in a form that will facilitate rapid recall of knowledge throughout a medical career. It includes general chapters on thinking about and experimentally examining tissues, on medicalimaging, and on development. The limbs and spine are treated in systematic rather than purely regional terms. Concise, authoritative, and lavishly illustrated, this volume will appeal to medical students, dental students, and physiotherapists.
Menrva's Summary
