Fundamental AnatomyIn response to shrinking contact hours in basic science courses, this new anatomy textbook provides a concise, easy-to-read alternative to the classic anatomy texts that are currently the gold standard in medical education. Rather than take an exhaustive, encyclopedic approach, it is written in narrative form and provides a conceptual framework, helping students master the structure and function of human anatomy. Fundamental Anatomy uses a systems-based approach, emphasizing organization and development and integrating the insights of embryology into a model for understanding adult gross anatomy. This paradigmatic approach is suitable for allied health, pre-med, and medical students in systems-based curricula. |
