Your ticket to acing Clinical Anatomy
Clinical anatomy is the study of human anatomy as it relates to
clinical practice. Unlike a basic anatomy and physiology course
designed to teach general anatomical knowledge, clinical anatomy
focuses on specific structures and issues that people may encounter
in a clinical setting.
Clinical Anatomy For Dummies presents a friendly,
unintimidating overview of the material covered in a typical
college-level Clinical Anatomy course. Clear definitions, concise
explanations, and plenty of full-color illustrations make
Clinical Anatomy For Dummies the most accessible book
available to supplement your classroom texts.
* Plain-English explanations make difficult concepts easy to
grasp
* Tracks to a typical college-level Clinical Anatomy course
* Features a 16-page color insert
Whether you’re a student or a practicing healthcare worker,
Clinical Anatomy for Dummies makes this subject accessible
and easy to grasp.
