CiNii Books - Gross anatomy in the practice of medicine

This work demonstrates how to apply anatomical knowledge in clinical settings by illustrating the anatomical basis of various diseases and disorders. Gross anatomy is used by physicians to analyze patient data gathered from the standard interview, history and physical examination. Thus, examples of cases with major anatomical components are used to determine the anatomic basis of a patient's medical problem. This book therefore provides fully-developed clinical cases and clinical panels. By using sequential cases with similar signs and symptoms but different diagnosis, the information presented is constantly reinforced.
