Clinical Anatomy by Systems is the first anatomy textbook featuring a systems-based approach geared to medical school programs that have adopted an integrated, organ system-based curriculum. Based on Dr. Snell's established and successful gross anatomy textbook, Clinical Anatomy, this book uses most of the schematic illustrations and many of the same pedagogical features to approach the study of anatomy from a systems-based orientation.
Basic anatomy sections supply basic information for diagnostic and treatment purposes and for performing medical procedures. Numerous imaging examples and labeled photographs of cross-sectional anatomy are included to help students think in terms of three-dimensional anatomy. Surface anatomy sections provide surface landmarks of important anatomic structures located beneath the skin and often bypassed by practicing clinicians.
Physiologic and embryologic notes are interspersed with basic anatomical material to point out the functional significance of the material and provide developmental anatomy information that is essential for the understanding of the structure and relationships of organs. Congenital anomalies that may affect the respective organs are listed after these notes.
Chapter opening outlines highlight the important concepts students should take away from each chapter. End-of-chapter review questions and answers provide valuable assistance in board and course review.
A free bound-in CD-ROM contains clinical notes, information on congenital anomalies, radiographic anatomy, and clinical problem-solving exercises. The clinical notes emphasize the structures that the physician will encounter when making a diagnosis and treating a patient. They also provide the anatomic knowledge necessary to understand many procedures and techniques and note the anatomic "pitfalls" commonly encountered. The problem-solving sections consist of case histories followed by multiple-choice questions and answers with rationales.
Widely praised for its clear and consistent organization, abundant illustrations, and emphasis on clinical applications, the exciting re-titled Eighth Edition of Snell's respected textbook continues to deliver the user-friendly features and expert perspectives that have made Clinical Anatomy one of the top teaching and learning resources for those seeking insights into the practical application of anatomy.
Ideal for medical, dental, allied health, and nursing programs, this book guides students through the fundamentals of human anatomy, explaining the how and why behind each structure, and offering readers the hands-on guidance they need to make sound clinical choices.
The book is organized by body region, from surface to deep structures. This edition introduces Embryologic Notes and includes up-to-date new Clinical Notes, Clinical Problems, and review questions. All illustrations have been recolored, and all Surface Anatomy illustrations are now in color. Upgraded clinical imaging includes radiographs, CT scans, MRIs, and sonograms.
With an already established reputation for user-friendliness, the Seventh Edition of Clinical Anatomy for Medical Students increases embryology coverage for programs that incorporate the subject into anatomy, or where a separate embryology text isn't necessary. Known for its clear and consistent organization and concise writing, this text focuses on presenting anatomical information that is clinically relevant. The book's unified structure includes the following components in each chapter: Outline, Objectives, Basic Anatomy, Radiographic Anatomy, Surface Anatomy, Clinical Notes, Clinical Problem-Solving, and National Board-Type Questions.

of clinical importance. Clinical and Embryology Notes supplement the core text, indicate clinical applications, and explain adult morphology and major congenital malformations. 4. Radiographic Anatomy: Each chapter includes numerous standard medical images (eg, radiographs, CT scans, MRI studies, and sonograms) to demonstrate normal anatomy in the manner most often observed by clinicians. Labeled photographs of cross-sectional anatomy stimulate students to think in terms of three dimensional anatomy, which is so important in the interpretation of imaging studies. 5. Surface Anatomy: This outlines surface landmarks and palpation points of important anatomic structures fundamental to a thorough physical examination. 6. Key Concepts: This closing part of the chapter summarizes the major points of anatomy discussed in the chapter to reinforce the topics covered. 7. Review Questions: A collection of review questions is available online at The purpose of these questions is threefold: to focus attention on areas of importance, to enable students to assess their areas of strengths and weaknesses, and to provide a form of self-evaluation for questions asked under examination conditions. The questions are in the National Board format and center around a clinical problem that requires an anatomic answer. As with previous editions, the book is heavily illus trated. Most figures have been kept simple in order to convey the fundamental floor plans that underlie the organization of body regions. Many new illustrations have been added. These include an emphasis on orga nizational schemes and diversity in patient populations.
Organized classically by system, this popular text gives medical and health professions students a complete, clinically oriented introduction to neuroanatomy. Each chapter begins with clear objectives, includes clinical cases, and ends with clinical notes, clinical problem-solving, and review questions. Hundreds of full-color illustrations, diagnostic images, and color photographs enhance the text.
This Seventh Edition features new information relating the different parts of the skull to the brain areas, expanded coverage of brain development and neuroplasticity, and updated information on stem cell research.
The aim of the teaching of this discipline is to introduce the students of the first year of medical studies into the basics of the anatomical terminology, and into the gross anatomy of the locomotor apparatus and into that of three largy organ complexes (respiratory, urogenital and digestive tract) The arrangement of the systems is coordinated with the teaching of the same objects in three other disciplines, also parts of the Module IA, e.g. histology and embryology, physiology and biochemistry. This system enables a good functional and structural integration of particular systems. The dissection course in winter semester learns the students the topographical anatomy of the extremities.
Clem vyučovanho předmětu je seznmit studenty prvnho ročnku se zklady anatomickho nzvoslov a s popisnou systematickou anatomi pohybovho stroj, a tř velkch orgnovch systmů (dchac stroj, močopohlavn soustava a trvic trakt). Pořad probranch soustav je určeno celkovm syllabem Modulu IA, takže vuka anatomie je těsně integrovna s histologi a embryologi, a dle s fyziologi a biochemi. Tm je dosahovno propojen strukturknch a funkčnch aspektů uvnitř jednotlivch systmů. Topografick pitva m za kol naučit studenty topografickou anatomii horn a doln končetiny - z tohoto pohledu jsou končetiny studovny z pohledu jejich systematick i regionln stavby.
The teaching of anatomy consists of lectures, practical trainings and dissection courses. The data taught are demonstrated on real wet specimens, slides and on X-ray, CT and MRI scans. The dissection courses are done on embalmed human cadavers. The syllabi of the lectures as well as of the practical trainings are published on the web sites of the Department of anatomy. The facts taught are put into organ complexes, containing the same matter in all four disciplines involved (anatomy, histology with embryology, physiology, biochemistry) - each organ complex or system is closed by an integrative conference, where the students are facing the real clinical cases and problems.
Vuka anatomie probh formou přednšek, praktickch a pitevnch cvičen. Probran fakta jsou demonstrovna na relnch prepartech, vhodnmi zobrazovacmi technikami (Rtg, CT, MRI) a obrazovmi prezentacemi.

For obtaining the credits in both semesters, it is necessary to fulfil the follwing conditions: 1. minimally 80% presence on the practical trainings, 2.: successfull passing of the oral practical post-dissection examination, 3.: successfull passing of the oral practical examinations on a) bones and joints of the upper and lower extremity, b) skull, c) vertebral column, 4.: minimally 70% success on written multiple-choice tests on the muscles of the head, neck and trunk in winter term, and on three particular tests on respiratory, urogenital and digestive systems. The first retake of the oral examinations is done by the same teacher during next two weeks, the retake of the post-dissection exam in two weeks by the examiner and in term established by department chairman. The retake of the muscular test will be done during the first week of the Summer term. All other retakes of prescribed examinations will be done in an oral form by the department chairman invidually, after personal consultation either during the last week of the winter term, last week of the Summer term, or during the whole main examination period (June, September). The final exam on the end of the second year is also oral, done by the commission of four examiners (anatomist, histologist, physiologist and biochemician). The knowledge requested is published in a form of particular questions on the department web sites.
