Essentials of Human Anatomy Book

Used by thousands of medical, dental, and allied health students over the last 30 years, Woodburne's Essentials of Human Anatomy is widely acclaimed for its succinct, authoritative presentation of anatomical knowledge in a concise and accessible text. With a new typographical style and a more spacious format, this eighth edition is designed for maximum effectiveness in learning. Beginning chapters cover general anatomical principles and the organization and function of the systems of the body. Subsequent chapters follow the normal dissection sequence. The text incorporates clinical notes, discussions of applied anatomy, and summary tables to help studetns organize their study. The hundreds of carefully selected figures --including exceptionally fine full-color plates--have been improved and added to, providing coverage comparable to most atlases. Other new features in this edition include a description of the central nervous system, and new sections on embrylogy and neuroanatomy, which provide excellent introductory overviews. All terminology is defined in the convenient glossary.Read More
