Summary

A sound understanding of how the body is built and functions remains fundamental to all aspects of medicine. Most diagnoses have to be arrived at from an examination of the intact living body and so an understanding of the functional anatomy of the living body and how it should be examinedremains a critical skill for practitioners. Designed in line with changes in the medical curriculum, the Oxford Textbook of Functional Anatomy: Head and Neck delivers the essential anatomical information needed by today's medical student. The book will also prove invaluable to sports medicine students, physiotherapists, health professionalsworking in musculoskeletal medicine, and radiologists. Content is strictly limited to that which aids understanding of the principles of body structure or is useful in everyday clinical practice. The book emphasizes the anatomy of the living subject, and to underline the increasing importance ofnon-invasive imaging, there are many computerized tomograms and magnetic resonance images. Ideal for medical students throughout their course and future career, the Oxford Textbook of Functional Anatomy offers: * A modern approach to functional anatomy emphasising the living body and new non-invasive imaging techniques * 200 colour line illustrations and photographs to aid understanding of the principles of body structure in everyday clinical practice * Clinical applications of anatomical information are highlighted in 'clinical boxes' thought the text * Self-assessment questions to stimulate thought and problem-solving Designed to meet the needs of the 21st century medical curriculum, the Oxford Textbook of Functional Anatomy delivers a sound working knowledge of the structural basis of body function in an accessible and user-friendly way.
