Clinically oriented anatomy

NEW: "Online" icon within the text indicates that additional content -such as case studies, questions, and references- is available online. This will direct students to the Point and make both students and faculty more aware of the available ancillary content.
• NEW: Bonus chapter on aging will be placed on the Point site for the book.
• NEW: Categorizations for the Blue Boxes, such as "Health," "Clinical Procedures," "Physical Examination," and "Development"
• NEW: Text has been streamlined by reducing redundancy and moving selected content online
• NEW: Indexed lists of tables and Blue Boxes in the front matter to make these features easier to locate in the text
• NEW: Medical imaging (radiology) integrated within the chapters, instead of at the back of the chapter, with additional images online
• NEW: Revised design and layout to make better use of space and to best present the many features of the book
• NEW: The Bottom Line (summary) feature added in COA5 has been refined to be more consistently applied and edited to provide concise key study points for students
• ART PROGRAMME: Extensive full-colour artwork developed to work together with the text illustrating key concepts
• BOTTOM LINE SECTIONS: Ensure that primary concepts do not become lost in the many details necessary for thorough understanding and provide a convenient means of ongoing review
• CASE STUDIES AND USMLE-STYLE QUESTIONS: Delivered electronically to provide an interactive, convenient, and comprehensive means of self-testing and review to prepare for course and licensing exams
• CLINICAL CORRELATIONS: The popular BLUE BOXES are supported by photographs and/or dynamic colour illustrations to help students understand the practical value of anatomy
• FUNCTIONAL ANATOMY: Includes a more realistic approach to the musculoskeletal system emphasizing the action and use of muscles and muscle groups in daily activities
• ILLUSTRATED TABLES: Organize complex information about veins, arteries, nerves, and other structures
• INTRODUCTION CHAPTER: This thorough and unique chapter covers important systemic information and concepts basic to the understanding of the anatomy presented in the subsequent regional chapters
• MEDICAL IMAGING: Each regional chapter includes various combinations of medical/diagnostic images with correlated illustrations to help prepare future professionals who need to be familiar with imaging
• SURFACE ANATOMY: These sections feature colour photographs, clearly demonstrating anatomy's relationship to physical examination and diagnosis
• TERMINOLOGY: The terminology fully adheres to the most current Terminología Anatómica approved by the Federative International Committee on Anatomical Terminology
