About Book
Lippincott’s Illustrated Q&A Review of Anatomy and Embryology offers crucial ideas of gross anatomy and embryology in a question-and-explanation format.
This textbook will allow college students to pick out and make clear specific, high-yield facts often examined in anatomy and embryology guides and board examinations.
There-fore, this e book is beneficial to expert college students in the fields of allopathic, osteopathic, dental, and podiatric medicine. It is designed to put together these college students for route examinations and the Gross Anatomy and Embryology Subject Examination given by means of the National Board of Medical Examiners as properly as put together college students for expert board examinations, such as the Step/Part 1 of the United States Medical Licensing Examination, the Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination, the National Board Dental Examination, and the National Board of Podiatric Medical Examination.
All of the 424 medical vignette-style questions positioned inside the Lippincott’s Illustrated Q&A Review of Anatomy and Embryology textbook are written such that one satisfactory reply is required.
Detailed explanations of each the right and unsuitable solutions are blanketed to spotlight often examined material, key concepts, and mnemonics to facilitate retention of information. Working via this textbook will assist college students increase their expertise base, problem-solving skills, and integration of vital scientific concepts.
Because expert guides and board examinations regularly require interpretation of illustrations, over 200 top notch pics and line drawings are covered inside many of the questions.
These illustrations painting scientific symptoms and symptoms, summarize information, and expose college students to modern radiologic imaging techniques, such as magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and fundamental X-ray (or plain) films.
For college students taking medical, dental, podiatric, and allied fitness courses, the use of this overview e book and the on line trying out web site will facilitate school room mastering and self-assessment in the fields of anatomy and embryology.
The femur is gold standard to the fibula. In the anatomical position, a character is standing erect, going through anterior (forward), with the higher limbs by using the sides, the arms going through anterior, the decrease limbs positioned collectively with the soles on the ground, and the toes pointing anterior.
In this position, the thigh is ultimate to (above) the decrease leg. Thus, the femur is most excellent to each the tibia and fibula. Choice A (The humerus is proximal to the scapula) is incorrect. The humerus hangs from the lateral nook of the scapula; thus, it is lateral and inferior to the scapula.
The humerus additionally may additionally be described as distal to the scapula due to the fact it is similarly away from the attachment of the top limb to the trunk. Choice B (The radius is medial to the ulna) is incorrect. The radius is the bone in the forearm placed similarly away from the midline.
Therefore, the radius is placed lateral to the ulna. Choice C (The vertebral arch is ventral to the vertebral body) is incorrect. The vertebral arch, which is composed of the paired pedicles and laminae, is placed dorsal (posterior; behind) to the physique of the vertebra. Choice E (The phalanges of the foot are cranial to the metatarsals) is incorrect.
The phalanges (toes) are located anterior to (or in the front of) the metatarsals, which are placed in the physique of the foot. The phalanges additionally can be described as being distal to the metatarsals in that they are in addition away from the attachment/origin of the foot.
with movement.(It will become a coronal airplane when the brachium [upper arm] is laterally turned around ninety tiers and kidnapped ninety degrees) is incorrect. All anatomical descriptions are relative to the anatomical role and do now not trade with movement. Choice C (It is the equal as a frontal plane) is incorrect.
A median airplane is a vertical anteroposterior airplane that runs thru the central (median) airplane of the body, dividing it into equal-sized proper and left parts. In the hand, the median aircraft runs longitudinally via the 1/3 (middle) digit. A frontal aircraft is a mediolateral airplane that divides the physique into anterior (front) and posterior (back) parts. Thus, the median aircraft is perpendicular to the frontal plane. Choice E (It is oriented mediolaterally) is incorrect.
A median aircraft is a vertical antero-posterior aircraft that runs via the central (median) airplane of the body, dividing it into equal-sized proper and left parts. In the hand, the median aircraft runs longitudinally thru the 1/3 (middle) digit. A mediolateral (frontal; coronal) aircraft divides the physique into anterior and posterior parts. Thus, a mediolateral airplane is perpendicular to the median plane.
