A comprehensive lab manual of anatomical dissection referenced to current editions of major medical atlases. Organized into 32 chapters, each focuses on small discrete areas such as the posterior triangle of the neck, and dorsum of the hand. Provides in-depth, detailed explanations for each dissection. Each chapter also stands alone, which allows instructors to adapt the material to their preferred dissection sequence, and students to self-teach and review. Features correlation of the surface anatomy to anatomical structures revealed in the dissections, a highlight for clinical understanding. Dissection instructions are boxed in red to create clear distinction from the explanatory material. 311 illustrations, 400 pages, soft cover, spiral bound.
