Real-world guidance for today s anatomy lab. Illustrations drawn from real specimens, presented in surface-to-deep dissection sequence, set Grant s Atlas of Anatomy apart as the most accurate reference available for learning human anatomy. These realistic representations provide students with the ultimate lab resource.
For more than seventy years, Grant s Atlas of Anatomy has continually adapted to meet the needs of each generation of students, while maintaining the Grant s tradition of excellence. The meticulously updated fourteenth edition is a visually stunning reference that delivers the accuracy, pedagogy, and clinical relevance expected of this classic atlas, with new features that make it even more practical and user-friendly: - Recolorization of the original Grant s Atlas images from high-resolution scans add a new level of organ luminosity and tissue transparency, and enable the formation of 3D constructs for each body region. This lavish visual enhancement ensures a vastly improved experience in learning the structure and function of the human body. - Schematic illustrations now feature a uniform style and consistent coloring, clearly showing the relationships of structures and clarifying anatomical concepts. - Newly revised legends with highlighted clinical applications describe the anatomic features and provide context for health care practice. - Enhanced medical imaging includes more than 100 clinically significant MRIs, CT images, ultrasound scans, and corresponding orientation drawings. - Updated and improved tables help organize muscles, vessels, and other anatomic information in an easy-to-use format ideal for review and study. Features: - NEW Additional clinical images (CTs, MRIs) help students apply the laboratory experience to clinical rotations - NEW Updated/additional clinical comments now appear in blue text for quick identification - NEW Grant's classic illustrations have been updated/replaced or feature enhanced colorization - NEW Schematic and orientation drawings have been updated or replaced to better facilitate understanding of structures and relationships - NEW Streamlined interior design and layout facilitate comprehension of complex, detailed information - Color surface anatomy photographs combine with hallmark anatomical illustrations for the most complete atlas available - Concise, interpretive legends present important observations and comments - Diagnostic images, with sections at the end of each chapter, feature clinically relevant MRIs, CT scans, and ultrasounds - Tables provide an overview of muscles, nerves, and arteries - Terminology conforms with Terminologica Anatomica, the standard for anatomical nomenclature
