Snell Clinical Anatomy For Medical Students

[Ma Layssard]

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.

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.

If reading text on a page feels like a boring and impossible feat for you, videos are a great way to help you engage with a topic. At Kenhub, most of our videos are less than 30 minutes long and cover everything you need to know about a topic, including its detailed anatomy, function, and clinically relevant notes.

Similar to textbooks, articles provide you with very in-depth information about a topic. If you require an expert rather than beginner level knowledge of a topic, articles will suit you well. Of course, long stretches of text can feel a little uninspiring.

A great way to ease yourself into learning a new anatomy topic is with anatomy labeling worksheets. The idea is simple - study the structures you need to learn on a labeled overview image, and then try labeling each structure yourself using an unlabeled diagram. We have several anatomy labeling worksheets available; check out some of our most popular ones below!

Struggling to learn muscle anatomy? Along with our 3D muscle function videos, our muscle anatomy charts will help you to learn muscle anatomy with ease. What can you expect from them? Charts divide muscles into body regions and groups, with attachments, innervations and functions clearly labeled.

Mind maps are a classic anatomy learning technique, and for good reason. Based on the premise of starting with a central idea and branching out related concepts from this, mind maps are a great way to link information together in a logical, efficient manner. You can read more about how to start using mind maps below.

How do you know which advice and anatomy study tips to follow? Well, when it comes to mastering anatomy, the Kenhub team have been there, done that, and written articles with their top tips to summarise how to best get through it all. Check out some of our top picks below.

Solid anatomical knowledge is so essential for medical doctors that the first year of many medical school curriculums is dedicated to the learning of it! Are you thinking about getting into medical school and becoming a doctor, and looking for some information on the application process? Or perhaps you want to start researching the different specialties in medicine? Physician Assistants also need solid anatomical knowledge. Check out some of our articles on these topics below.

The knowledge is tiered according to the SOLO taxonomy: S1) simple (e.g. know, identify), S2) compound (e.g. account for, describe), S3) related (e.g. analyse, relate), and S4) extended (e.g. theorise, analyse).
