Clinically Oriented Anatomy, Sixth Edition provides first-year medical and allied health students with the clinically oriented anatomical information that they need in study and practice. This best-selling textbook is renowned for its comprehensive coverage of anatomy, presented as it relates to the practice of medicine, dentistry, and physical therapy. The Sixth Edition features improved artwork and integrates radiology within the chapters. The clinical Blue Boxes now have categorizations such as "Health," "Clinical Procedures", "Physical Examination" and "Development" and are indexed at the front of the book so they are easier to locate. A companion website offers the fully searchable text, interactive review questions, case studies, Surface Anatomy and Clinical Imaging Libraries, a bonus chapter on aging, and references. Online faculty resources include an Image Bank, Interactive Atlas, Test Generator, and course outlines. FEATURES:
