A well-balanced combination of a clinical text, reference material and multicolor illustrations make this review of musculoskeletal anatomy eminently useful for students and practitioners alike. The new edition includes revised indexes, updated nomenclature, and recent research results.

A well-balanced combination of a clinical text, reference material and multicolor illustrations make this review of musculoskeletal anatomy eminently useful for students and practitioners alike. The new edition features abundant clinical notes to help grasp the essentials of morphology in patient care, overviews of anatomical terms and their Latin equivalents, and an index of proper names explaining many of the eponyms used in anatomy today.

The seventh edition of this classic work makes mastering large amounts of complex information much less daunting. These are some of the many user-friendly features of this book: More than 200 outstanding full-color illustrations and 100 new clinical correlations Side-by-side images with updated callouts An overview of anatomical terms and their Latin equivalents in each section Emphasizing clinical anatomy, this atlas integrates current information from a wide range of medical disciplines into the discussions of the locomotor system, including: General anatomy The systematic anatomy of the locomotor system The topography of peripheral nerves and vessels in relation to the musculoskeletal system Volume 1: Locomotor System and its companions Volume 2: Internal Organs and Volume 3: Nervous System and Sensory Organs comprise a must-have resource for students of medicine, dentistry, and all allied health fields.

Color Atlas of Human Anatomy, Volume 1: Locomotor System For over 45 years, the three-volume Color Atlas of Human Anatomy has provided readers with a compact review of the human body and its structures. It is ideal for studying, preparing for exams, and as a reference. The new, 8th edition of Volume 1: Locomotor System builds on a robust foundation of scientific knowledge, summarizing in its compactness both the topographic and systemic anatomy of the musculoskeletal system. Key highlights: Updated clinical notes provide important correlations between the anatomy of the musculoskeletal system and disease processes Proven concept of concise texts paired with more than 200 color plates of outstanding anatomical illustrations Overviews of anatomical terms and their Latin equivalents Volume 1: Locomotor System is accompanied by Volume 2: Internal Organs (ISBN 978-3-13-242448-7) and Volume 3: Nervous System and Sensory Organs (ISBN 978-3-13-242451-7).

Emphasizing clinical anatomy, the text integrates current information from an array of medical disciplines into the discussions of the nervous system and sensory organs, including in-depth coverage of key topics, including molecular signaling, the interplay between ion channels and transmitters, imaging techniques such as PET, CT, and NMR, and much more.
