Color Atlas of Human Anatomy

The essential compact anatomical atlas on the locomotor system in a new updated edition! Color Atlas of Human Anatomy Volume 1: Locomotor System, 8th Edition by Werner Platzer and Thomas Shiozawa-Bayer updates the classic pocket atlas that medical students have relied on for more than 40 years. The eighth edition of the classic anatomy work presents in-depth knowledge in a new design. It integrates current information from a wide range of medical disciplines into the discussions of the locomotor system, including general anatomy, systematic anatomy of the locomotor system, and the topography of peripheral nerves and vessels in relation to the musculoskeletal system. Key Highlights: - Succinct text and topographic images presented side by side delineate the musculoskeletal system and interconnected relationships - Updated clinical notes provide important correlations between anatomy of the musculoskeletal system and disease processes - An overview of anatomical terms and their Latin equivalents in each section Vol. 1: Locomotor System and its companion atlases Vol. 2: Internal Organs and Vol. 3: Nervous System and Sensory Organs are a must-have resource for students of medicine, dentistry, and all allied health fields.
