An exceptional, beautifully illustrated resource on general anatomy and the musculoskeletal systemThieme Atlas of Anatomy: General Anatomy and Musculoskeletal System, Fourth Edition, Latin Nomenclature, by renowned educators Michael Schuenke, Erik Schulte, and Udo Schumacher, along with consulting editors Wayne Cass, Nathan Johnson, Lia Lucas Neto, and Pedro Oliveira, expands on the award-winning prior editions. Detailed musculoskeletal illustrations elucidate understanding of bone, joint, ligament, and muscle structure; innervation of muscles; action of joints and muscles; and diseases or trauma of the bones, joints, and muscles. The unique atlas is divided into four major sections, starting with General Anatomy, which lays a fundamental groundwork of knowledge - from human phylogeny and ontogeny to general neuroanatomy. The three subsequent sections, the Trunk Wall, Upper Limb, and Lower Limb are systemically organized, presenting bones, ligaments, and joints; musculature; and neurovascular, followed by topographical overviews in each group. Anatomic concepts and clinical applications are introduced in a step-by-step sequence through illustrations, succinct explanatory text, and summary tables, thereby supporting classroom learning and active dissection in the laboratory.Key Features Labels and anatomic terminology are in Latin nomenclatureFemale skeletal muscles, genital structures, and surgical interventions, with a new section on muscle fasciaeMore than 2,100 extraordinarily accurate and beautiful illustrations by Markus Voll and Karl Wesker, including a significant number revised to reflect gender and ethnic diversityClinically important musculoskeletal anatomy and pathology imaging for plain film, CT, and MRI scansA new chapter on muscle fasciae structure and function covers innervation, compartment syndrome in the lower leg, and classification of the fasciae of the trunk and body cavitiesVariants in human anatomy, such as blood vessels whose courses deviate from the “norm”, or anomalous positions of organsThe updated edition of this best-selling atlas is an essential tool for physical therapy and osteopathic medical students and instructors.
