Human Gross Anatomy: An Outline Text

By Robert J. Leonard and Robert J. Leonard

Book Overview

This text presents gross anatomy in an expanded outline format. Its conciseness and logical organization permit easy previewing of the subject matter before a lecture or laboratory as well as efficient learning and reviewing of the material before an examination. Notwithstanding its succinct style, the text's coverage of gross anatomy is comprehensive and is written at a level of detail appropriate for the medical student.
The book begins with an introduction, setting forth basic principles and terminology that will serve the student throughout the remainder of the text. Overviews of the nervous, muscular, skeletal, and vascular systems are also included in the introduction. The main part of the text is organized in the following sequence: The Back; The Thorax; The Abdomen; The Perineum and Pelvis; The Head and Neck; The Upper Limb; and The Lower Limb. Clinical notes that highlight anatomy relevant to current medical practice appear throughout these chapters. Since each regional anatomy chapter is complete in itself, the order in which they are studied is optional.

SIMPLY POETIC

This book, without pictures, takes you through an amazing roller coaster ride of the human body. If you use this with the Netter book it makes anatomy so much fun. You feel as if you are inside the body riding around each artery, vein and nerve. Well written!!!

Excellent text!

When used alongside an atlas such as Netter, this book becomes an invaluable resource for any medical student. It is succinct but comprehensive, and the level is appropriate for a thorough medical school class.
