Clinically Oriented Anatomy

Rate this book

Clinically Oriented Anatomy, Sixth Edition, provides first-year medical and allied health students with the clinically oriented anatomical information that they need in study and practice. This best-selling textbook is renowned for its comprehensive coverage of anatomy, presented as it relates to the practice of medicine, dentistry, and physical therapy.

The Sixth Edition features a modified interior design with new and improved artwork that further enhances the user-friendliness of the text. The clinical Blue Boxes—with topical coverage of health, clinical procedures, physical examination, and development— are now grouped to reduce interruption of text and are categorized with icons to promote easier comprehension of clinical information. The Bottom Line summaries have been refined to clearly call out key points for quick study.

A companion Website offers the fully searchable text, interactive USMLE-style questions, and video animations. Online faculty resources include an Image Bank, Test Generator, and Course Outlines.

An excellent Anatomy text geared to those who have never tackled the subject before. The book has great scope as well as depth of knowledge and I think (as it was for my course of study) it should be an essential text.

I loved the summarizations at the end of each section boiling down WHAT REALLY MATTERS - because let's face it. There are just too many darn parts in the human body for us to remember all the components, relations to other components, nerve, venous and arterial supplies for, LOL.

Get this book. You won't be disappointed. It is authored especially with a clinician's perspective.

Excellent Diagrams and managed to make the text content less dry than most textbooks.

Recommend making pages more absorbent, my tears have caused irreparable water damage.

This is a book I pull regularly to show patients the relevant anatomy and talk about their disease process. It would be a useful book for any family with family members with significant ongoing illness who wanted to be able to better understand what is going on with their illness or body.

Esta bien explicado. Pero falta más en cuanto a ciertos casos clinicos para mi..
Y ademas los mapas son excelentes para guiarte.

Li para a universidade, não tenho muito o que falar. A linguagem era bem complicada e confusa em alguns momentos.

Çok iyi bir metin. Tarihselcilere iyi geçirmiş. Cismani varlığımızı bize çok iyi anlatmış. Çok boşum bu ara götüm ağrıdığı zaman götüm değil de os sacrum kemiğim demek istiyorum. Tuvalette okuyorum zaten. 250 deyim şu an. "sargı bezlerine, appendixlere"

Well I haven't finished reading ALL of it yet but the parts I have read, I've liked! It's clear, succinct and very well written for people who don't have previous knowledge of anatomy :)
