Mosby's Regional Atlas of Human Anatomy

Mosby's digital atlas is the first comprehensive atlas of regional human anatomy to be published based on the National Library of Medicine's Visible Human Project dataset. It pioneers the way toward the future of education in anatomy, making extensive useof digital information derived from the Visible Human Project and other technological innovations. This breakthrough atlas offers great breadth of coverage, regional presentation of anatomy, high-resolution images derived from the female data set, and male/female structural comparisons where relevant, such as the pelvic region of the skeleton.

* The first comprehensive, digital photographic, regional atlas of male and female human anatomy. * The first volume-rendered, three-dimensional atlas to come out of the Visible Human Project. * Axial sections in each of the regions combine the benefits of the cross-sectional approach with the presentation of 3D digital photographic anatomy. * Unique in situ visualization offers understanding of organ, structure, and tissue relationships not possible in cadaver dissection. * The first regional atlas of any type to present the sphenomandibularis muscle, a newly discovered mastication muscle that is destroyed in standard dissection of the temporalis muscle.
