Clinical Anatomy and Embryology: A Guide for the Classroom, Boards, and Clinic

This  second edition was updated and will again be of great value to medical  and other allied health students. It seeks to aid students in gaining a  general understanding of clinical anatomy before embarking on a specific  discipline-focused program.

The purpose of this  text is not an exhaustive deep dive into all of gross anatomy. There are  numerous other books that have done this. Likewise, it is not meant to  be just a quick overview. Rather, it is meant to present each anatomical  topic with clinical scenarios in mind. Hopefully, it will help  first-year students with their course, second-year students looking for a  refresher before boards, and third- and fourth-year students looking  for a refresher before rotations.

Organized among two  sections, the first includes chapters that cover the anatomy of the  head and neck, abdomen, thorax, pelvis and perineum, lower limb, upper  limb, and back. What’s more, section two briefly examines the embryology  and development of the organ systems, such as the development of major  organs.

This new edition is again an invaluable  resource for students who wish to retain anatomical knowledge on the  entire human body despite an eventual career in one particular  discipline of medicine. It is complemented by its previously published  sister text Medical Neuroanatomy for the Boards and the Clinic, now  in second edition, which applies similar principles of anatomical  information with a focus on identifying potentially malignant lesions.
