Physician Assistant: Anatomy Aids

More than 400 full-color illustrations along with brief text help you understand gross anatomy in the context of healthcare.

Learning objectives introduce each dissection and clear step-by-step instructions make it easy to follow in the dissection lab. Clinical application boxes and radiology images explain how anatomy relates to clinical medical practice. Includes multiple-choice questions allowing students to quickly review their knowledge before checking the answers in the appendix.

This volume on the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis and perineum starts with an introduction to the trunk, or torso, defines the boundaries of each constituent part, and provides a general overview of the vertebrae, vertebral column, and autonomic nervous system which are common to all sections of the trunk. The last section in the volume collates and organizes information from the earlier sections to enable further understanding of the body as a whole.

This volume on the head and neck, brain, and spinal cord starts with the description of the bones, cavities, organs, muscles, vessels, and nerves of the head and neck. The brain and spinal cord are discussed in the following section. The last section in the volume presents a series of cross-sectional gross anatomy images, as well as computerized tomograms and magnetic resonance images of the head, neck and brain, to enable further understanding of the intimate relationship between the structures described here.

This comparative atlas records and shares some of the most incredible skeletal malformations and the wide range of variability and severity that can afflict the human skeleton, before and after the advent of antibiotics. It captures examples of disease, malformations, and trauma with little or no surgical or medical intervention and reveals their natural progression, often, without treatment.

Serves as a complete reference, emphasizing anatomy that is important in physical diagnosis for primary care, interpretation of diagnostic imaging, and understanding the anatomical basis of emergency medicine and general surgery.

Illustrations drawn from real specimens, presented in surface-to-deep dissection sequence, set Grant's Atlas of Anatomy apart as the most accurate illustrated reference available for learning human anatomy and referencing in dissection lab.

Presents a vivid, visual depiction of anatomical structures and demonstrates the correlation of structures with clinical images and surface anatomy.

Chapters are organized by region in the order of a typical dissection, with each chapter presenting regional anatomical structures in a systematic manner.

With 2,100 images, this work features comprehensive coverage of the musculoskeletal system and general anatomy, in addition to embryology and surface anatomy.
