"Gray's Anatomy for Students" is a new and wholly original textbook of anatomy for medical and health professional students. Designed to be suitable for any type of curriculum, "Gray's Anatomy for Students" presents the essentials of clinical anatomy in a way that furthers complete understanding and firmly relates the study of anatomy to the clinical practice of medicine. Organized by region, the book provides, in each chapter, a conceptual overview that describes the function of structures within that region. The regional anatomy is described with frequent discussion of clinical relevance and illustrated with many imaging studies and an outstanding art program. Each chapter also contains a unique section on Surface Anatomy with outstanding photographs overlaid with anatomic diagrams - the focus of which is to relate anatomy to the physical examination of patients and the performance of medical procedures which require a knowledge of anatomy. Clinical Cases are used throughout to illustrate the relevance of anatomy to the practice of clinical medicine.
Companion website - includes Super Image Bank; Interactive Surface Anatomy tool; Testbank with hundreds of USMLE Questions; a complete Anatomy Course in online Learning Modules.
