"Building on the tradition of the highly acclaimed prior editions, Anatomy: An Essential Textbook, Latin Nomenclature, Second Edition by Anne M. Gilroy features new learning components that leverage the Thieme companion, Atlas of Anatomy, Fourth Edition, Latin Nomenclature. Concise, bulleted text paired with large, detailed anatomic figures enhance visual learning and retention of knowledge, using Latin nomenclature. Organized by eight units, the book starts with basic concepts and a general overview of anatomic systems. Subsequent units focused on regional anatomy cover the Back, Thorax, Abdominal Wall and Inguinal Region, Pelvis and Perineum, Upper Limb, Lower Limb, and Head and Neck. Each unit includes a chapter on the practical application of regional imaging and extensive question sets with detailed explanations. A new ordering of chapters now mirrors the revised organization of the Atlas and sequence of dissections in most gross anatomy programs. This is the quintessential resource for medical students to build anatomy knowledge and confidence as they progress in their medical careers"--
