Clinical Applications
Index
the diagrams and steps of the dissection process within this book is highly detialed, a real help to students dissecting in anatomy classes.
Very nice images, valid for the students especially during the dissection courses
I will use this guide as my main dissection course guide and supplementary for the anatomy course.
excelente libro
Useful tool for sections during our course.
Precise and concise photographs of human body dissection. I would absolutely recommend it.
This is one of the best photographic atlases. It is highly recommended for medical students and anatomists.
Fantastic summation, with paired content accessible via the internet, particularly useful in the restrictive contact climate. For the keen undergrad as supplementary material.
Fantastic book to use in the current situation where face-to-face teaching is limited and sessions are taing place online. The images in this book make visualising certain structures and the 3D conceptualisation of structures much easier and effectively aid students learning. This book offers invaluable opportunity to view cadaveric specimens and see the layout and organisation of the human body "for real", in a situation where viewing cadaveric specimens is very limited. This book is key for familiarising students with cadaveric material and may be a gentler way of exposing them to cadavers so that they are better emotionally and mentally prepared for when they do see cadaervs face-to-face.
It was very useful during online classes - well-shown structures with good explanations. A good resource for learning anatomy for students to understand the taught material.
I will be recommending this for the Graduate Entry Medicine students as well as the Medical Physiology and Therapeutic students. It is a great book for distinguishing between annotations and dissections/pro-sections. It can often be hard to distinguish between the two and therefore this book will allow the students to study this in their own time before all anatomy practicals.
I will recommend this book to the medical students to improve their ability during the dissection courses. The book is well done.
