Clinically Oriented Anatomy 6th Edition Ebook

Preface

Nearly a third of a century has passed since the first edition

of Clinically Oriented Anatomy appeared on bookstore

shelves. Although the factual basis of anatomy is remarkable

among basic sciences for its longevity and consistency,

this book has evolved markedly since its inception. This is

a reflection of changes in the clinical application of anatomy,

new imaging technologies that reveal living anatomy in new

ways, and improvements in graphic and publication technology

that enable superior demonstration of this information.

Efforts continue to make this book even more student

friendly and authoritative. The sixth edition has been thoroughly

reviewed by students, anatomists, and clinicians for

accuracy and relevance and revised with significant new

changes and updates.

KEY FEATURES

Clinically Oriented Anatomy has been widely acclaimed for

the relevance of its clinical correlations. As in previous editions,

the sixth edition places clinical emphasis on anatomy that is

important in physical diagnosis for primary care, interpretation

of diagnostic imaging, and understanding the anatomical basis

of emergency medicine and general surgery. Special attention

has been directed toward assisting students in learning the

anatomy they will need to know in the twenty-first century,

and to this end new features have been added and existing features

updated.

Clinical correlations. Popularly known as “blue boxes,”

the clinical information sections have grown, and many of

them are now supported by photographs and/or dynamic

color illustrations to help with understanding the practical

value of anatomy. In response to our readers’ suggestions, the

blue boxes have been grouped together within chapters,

enabling presentation of topics with less interruption of the

running text.

Bottom line summaries. A new feature in the fifth

edition, frequent “bottom line” boxes summarize the preceding

information, ensuring that primary concepts do not

become lost in the many details necessary for thorough

understanding. These summaries provide a convenient

means of ongoing review and underscore the big picture

point of view.

Anatomy described in a practical, functional context.

A more realistic approach to the musculoskeletal system

emphasizes the action and use of muscles and muscle groups

in daily activities, emphasizing gait and grip. The eccentric

contraction of muscles, which accounts for much of their

activity, is now discussed along with the concentric contraction

that is typically the sole focus in anatomy texts. This perspective

is important to most health professionals, including

the growing number of physical and occupational therapy

students using this book.

Surface anatomy and medical imaging. Surface anatomy

and medical imaging, formerly presented separately, are

now integrated into the chapter, presented at the time each

region is being discussed, clearly demonstrating anatomy’s

relationship to physical examination and diagnosis. Both natural

views of unobstructed surface anatomy and illustrations

superimposing anatomical structures on surface anatomy

photographs are components of each regional chapter. Medical

images, focusing on normal anatomy, include plain and

contrast radiographic, MRI, CT, and ultrasonography studies,

often with correlative line art as well as explanatory text,

to help prepare future professionals who need to be familiar

with diagnostic images…
