In this Blog, you can easily download free pdf of Snell's clinical anatomy edited by Lawrence E. Wineski.
Students of the health sciences will find this book useful for reviewing fundamental anatomical concepts in a solid clinical setting. There are a few new features:
The chapters have been reorganised such that they correspond to the conventional dissection order taught in medical schools.
Rearranged such that each new chapter begins with introductory material and progresses to more advanced concepts and relationships, this revision reorders the subjects covered in each section.
The book is organised so that each chapter has its own set of learning objectives and key concepts. The chapter's key topics—the anatomy that is most crucial to learn and understand—are introduced in the Learning Objectives. The chapter's key concepts are summarised for easy reference.
The text has been extensively revised all throughout, with brand new sections and modernised language. Brief summaries of data have been added in the form of new tables.
Surface anatomy is more clearly shown in the new and/or updated images. Every chapter is laid out in the same fashion. This improves the readability of the book and allows for quicker navigation. In each section, we focus on:
The chapter begins with a brief case study that demonstrates the importance of anatomy in medicine as a clinical example.
Learn the Basics, as outlined above, this portion narrows the student's emphasis on the most fundamental aspects of anatomy.
Fundamental clinical anatomy is discussed at length; the bulk of this chapter is devoted to introducing the reader to the fundamentals of the gross anatomic structures that are of clinical significance. We Focus on Both the Clinical and Embryological Aspects The notes offer further clarification on adult morphology and important congenital anomalies, as well as pointing out therapeutic applications of the main material.
Radiographic Anatomy: Numerous conventional medical images (such as radiographs, CT scans, MRI studies, and sonograms) are included in each chapter to depict normal anatomy as it is typically observed by clinicians. Students are encouraged to develop a conceptual understanding of three-dimensional anatomy through the use of labelled cross-sectional pictures, which is crucial for the correct interpretation of imaging studies.
The anatomical structures that can be seen and touched during a physical examination are described in detail here.
Concluding with a review of the chapter's key concepts, "Summary and Conclusion" reviews the chapter's key points, in a nutshell, to ensure that the material is fully understood.
Review Questions: Test your knowledge with a bank of questions found at www.thePoint.lww.com. Exam practise questions serve three functions: they help students hone in on key concepts, identify areas in which they need more work, and practise evaluating their own performance. The questions follow the framework of the National Board examination and focus on a clinical scenario for which an anatomical solution is required. Many illustrations accompany the text, as they have in earlier versions. In order to illustrate the underlying floor designs that underlie the structure of bodily areas, most figures have been kept simple. We have kept the diagrams that show how the brain's cranial nerves are laid out and how the various regions are supplied with blood.
