Second edition of acclaimed, richly illustrated textbook is the definitive resource for learning challenging anatomy!
While
the relevance of anatomy to medical diagnosis and treatment continually
evolves, anatomical knowledge will always be instrumental to effective
treatment of patients. Building on the tradition of the highly acclaimed
prior editions, Anatomy: An Essential Textbook, Latin Nomenclature,
Second Edition by Anne M. Gilroy features new learning components that
leverage the Thieme companion, Atlas of Anatomy, Latin Nomenclature,
Fourth Edition. Concise, bulleted text paired with large, detailed
anatomic figures enhance visual learning and retention of knowledge.
Organized
by eight units, the book starts with basic concepts and a general
overview of anatomic systems. Subsequent units focused on regional
anatomy cover the Back, Thorax, Abdominal Wall and Inguinal Region,
Pelvis and Perineum, Upper Limb, Lower Limb, and Head and Neck. Each
unit includes a chapter on the practical application of regional imaging
and extensive question sets with detailed explanations. A new ordering
of chapters now mirrors the revised organization of the Atlas and
sequence of dissections in most gross anatomy programs.
- More
than 100 new images, updated illustrations, and revised versions of all
autonomic schematics enhance understanding of anatomy
- New
topics in clinical and developmental anatomy addressed throughout
include clinically important vascular anastomoses, spinal cord
development, and common anatomic anomalies

- Over
50 of the new and previously included clinical and developmental
correlations now feature dex_scriptive images, radiographs, or schematics
Self-testing sections in each unit have been expanded with over 40 new USMLE®-style question sets with detailed explanations
This
is the quintessential resource for medical students to build anatomy
knowledge and confidence as they progress in their medical careers.
