A Visual Guide to Clinical Anatomy

A solid knowledge of anatomy is essential within any number of fields throughout healthcare. A core discipline of all medical degrees, anatomy is generally taught in a series of laboratory sessions and lectures. These require students to identify a particular organ or structure, explain its function, and describe its relation to normal physiology. Students are expected to learn—and practising clinicians required to remember—an enormous amount of anatomical information.

A Visual Guide to Clinical Anatomy is an extraordinary visual reference guide, containing more than 900 high-quality illustrations of the human anatomy. Author and illustrator Robert H. Whitaker draws upon his 30 years of experience as an anatomy demonstrator and lecturer at Cambridge University to present a simple, easy-to-understand approach to both teaching and learning the subject. Each illustration is designed to provide a summary of key anatomical and clinical information on a specific topic or clinical condition.

A comprehensive yet user-friendly anatomy resource, this volume:

• Covers the major areas of human anatomy
• Provides succinct, clinically relevant information for each illustration
• Offers clear and accessible synopses of anatomical structures

A Visual Guide to Clinical Anatomy is a valuable addition to the bookshelf of any medical student, instructor, surgical trainee, physician, or healthcare practitioner.
