The structure of human body considered in course gross anatomy which is effectively treat injury, disease and disability providing clear understanding of abnormal conditions.
The use of cadaver usually consider more accurate but pictures, videos and photograph presentation of cadaver is an excellent source in this book ,and it’s more realistic approach for knowledge of human structure.
The more clinical or practice oriented phases and MCQ are relevant with the clinical approach .
Effectively addressed within the context of most human anatomy courses .
Consistent with each body parts along with different body system , that’s helpful for students understanding the orientation of each organ system and correlation with different organs.
Well organized the body system as a module from head to toe .
Every organs with specific body system .
No navigation issue , perfect anatomical knowledge.
Intended to help meet that need.
No cultural issue as some gross anatomy courses use cadaver not acceptable in some cultural background.
Perfect book with visual presentation and MCQ .
A very comprehensive workbook supplement to add application to the study of gross anatomy. read more

The structure of the human body is usually considered in courses in gross anatomy. These courses typically consist of lectures by the faculty, readings in assigned textbooks and the study of photographs and illustrations in human anatomy atlases. However, as student’s progress through the curriculum and move into the more clinical or practice oriented phases, many discover that the anatomical knowledge they actually need is somewhat different from the kind they possess. What many encounter is difficulty in applying their knowledge to a clinical setting.
Applied Human Anatomy was created to better integrate material that is more often than not treated separately in contemporary health care curricula. It is hoped that through this integration students will develop a deeper and more lasting knowledge and understanding of human anatomy as they are likely to need it in the evaluation and management of patients.
