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.
This book is designed so that the information is presented without masses of confusing detail involving complicated neural connections. The arrangement permits the students and future health providers to quickly recall the essential features necessary for the diagnosis and treatment of patients. - Richard S. Snell
Teaching a subject like neuroanatomy is no easy feat - the subject itself is quite a nightmare to understand and quite frankly, very few learning resources successfully rise to the challenge. However, through the use of several intelligent tactics that simplify this dreaded subject, 'Snell's Clinical Neuroanatomy' has managed to climb close to the top and assert itself as one of the most sought after neuroanatomy learning resources.
The other side of the story is the electronic eBook format, which makes it portable and instantly accessible using just a few taps or clicks. Therefore, you get the best of both worlds - a heavy duty study resource at home, and a quick reference or review on the-go!
When studying, the last and most important step for retention is to apply the knowledge and retrieve it from memory, according to science. What better way to do that than to attempt one of our quizzes and see how much you know? They can adapt to your level of knowledge and also use spaced repetition, a tried and tested study method. By the way, all of the above features become instantly available to you and your fingertips within seconds of signing up. So, what are you waiting for - try it out and see for yourself how easy anatomy learning can really be!
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.
Research into reading has benefitted from the emergence of powerful computational models that account for reading behavior at different levels. Such models become more powerful when the underlying anatomy, architecture or 'physiology' can be linked to the behavior of interest. OB1-reader is a reading model that simulates the processes underlying reading in the human brain. Previous studies showed that OB1-reader can account for various phenomena in the word recognition and text reading literatures. Here we aim to extend OB1's scope, by simulating behavioral performance and evoked EEG activity for two experimental word-recognition tasks: a flanker task in which unrelated flankers generated less accurate responses combined with a larger N400, and a sentence reading task in which words were recognized more accurately at central positions and within intact sentences, than at peripheral positions and in scrambled sentences. OB1 simulated several behavioral findings in both paradigms, including the so-called sentence superiority effect. Moreover, virtual event-related potentials (ERPs) generated from node activity in OB1 were compared to human ERPs. More lexical activity in OB1 predicted the size of the N400 component of human readers in both experiments, but not the N250.
