Synopsis

This anatomy book traces the route of arteries, veins, nerves and lymphatics. and tells the reader where muscles arise, where they insert, what they do and which nerves control them. It is intended for use in conjunction with one of the fuller textbooks of anatomy and is aimed at undergraduate medical students and prospective surgeons who are studying for the first part of the higher degree in surgery. The book may also be of use to clinicians who need to remind themselves of anatomical facts and for paramedical groups, such as physiotherapists and radiographers.

About this title

Book Description:

Indispensable dip-in revision aidInstant Anatomy is quite different from other anatomy books available. It presents the fundamental anatomical information needed for clinical practice in an easily accessible dip-in format. Each topic is concisely displayed in a double-page spread to provide a unique anatomical approach across systems. This logical and intuitive approach emphasizes the anatomical relationships needed for cross sectional scanning and computer generated reconstructional imaging. It allows structures such as blood vessels and nerves to be seen in their entirety instead of regionally as they are so often described in standard textbooks. This edition has been updated and expanded to include more on the foramina chapter.

From the Back Cover:

Instant Anatomy is quite different from the vast number of other anatomy books. The clever structure of the information facilitates accurate and speedy retrieval of anatomical facts, and is very popular with students.

Two features make the book especially useful. First, it stresses anatomical relationships which are even more important now with the increased use of cross sectional scanning and computer generated reconstructional imaging. Second, it allows structures such as blood vessels and nerves to be seen in their entirety instead of regionally as they are so often described in standard textbooks. The section on the autonomic nervous system has been expanded in this second edition to meet the needs of students who often find this area of knowledge so difficult.

Instant Anatomy is ideal for preclinical students with its dictionary-style format. It facilitates rapid revision for the MRCS and AFRCS candidate. It will also be extremely useful for clinicans who need to remind themselves of anatomical facts at all stages of their careers, and for other groups such as physiotherapists and radiographers.
