Photographs of skulls and individual constituent bones illustrate their position and shape, with significant features identified. A supplementary text for courses in medical and dental anatomy and radiology,, but also useful as a reference for practitioners, and even anthropologists. No bibliography.

This text accompanies Principles of Anatomy and Physiology, 8th edition, by Tortora and Grabowski. The photographs have been carefully selected, oriented and labelled as a supplement to the illustrations in the textbook and as a laboratory guide.

Written by one of the most consulted authorities on the subject, Atlas of Developmental Field Anomalies of the Human Skeleton is the pre-eminent resource for developmental defects of the skeleton. This guide focuses on localized bone structures utilizing the morphogenetic approach that addresses the origins of variability within specific developmental fields during embryonic development. Drawings and photographs make up most of the text, forming a picture atlas with descriptive text for each group of illustrations. Each section and subdivision is accompanied by brief discussions and drawings of morphogenetic development.

The Photographic Regional Atlas of Bone Disease is intended to serve the needs of a diverse audience including paleopathologists, physical anthropologists and other anthropologists, police, crime scene technicians, medical examiners, radiologists, anatomists, and other medical specialists, regardless of training or experience. Although originally written as a manual for physical anthropologists, it has become a reference for anyone examining skeletal remains or dealing with bone disease, especially in dry-bone specimens. Over the years it has gained in popularity as one of the few “required” manuals in most skeletal laboratories throughout the U.S. and, in fact, many countries. The purpose of the book is to bridge the gap between clinical medicine, radiology and physical anthropology by providing researchers with a single source and photographic atlas of what they might encounter in one bone or an entire skeletal collection, regardless of antiquity or origin. Unlike most texts written by clinicians for clinicians, or those that focus on one specialty, the Regional Atlas was compiled by biological anthropologists using a “dry bones” approach and simple yet precise terminology, based on examination of nearly 10,000 skeletons. The authors’ expertise and diversity in anatomy, radiology, pathology and human variation provide them with a unique perspective for distinguishing normal variation from pathological conditions. The book was written as a basic stand-alone reference for bone disease and normal variation. It contains black and white photographs and an extensive use of color plates depicting a variety of disease conditions and stages of progression that one might expect to encounter in one or many skeletons. The purpose of this text is to provide readers with sufficient information on bone disease and human variation for them to recognize, describe and interpret them. Once they have identified a disease, normal variant or other condition, they can turn to the bibliography for references and additional information. The Regional Atlas is intended to provide readers with enough information to do their own skeletal analysis. It is this “dry bones” approach, combined with the vast experiences of the authors, vivid photos and simple terminology, that sets the Regional Atlas apart from all others.

Detailed colour illustrations and photographs included. Each section examines the bones, muscles, nerves and internal organs in detail and explains how they work.

A stunningly realistic set of +200 images of the human skeleton! The images of the human skeletal system reveal all facets of the human skeleton model (skull, spine, rib cage, shoulder, arm, hand, pelvis, leg and foot) including bone fractures. Skeleton Atlas combines realism, beauty and educational value for students of skeletal anatomy. Making it a perfect match for everybody with an interest for anatomy and medical professionals such as osteopaths, chiropractors, physicians, nurses, physical therapists... The visuals offer a clear and extensive look into the skeleton. 3D models based on actual scanned skeletal data were used to recreate the most intricate details of the human skeleton. Special attention has been given to fractures, since this is a subject commonly searched for. Skeleton Atlas contains the following chapters: - Chapter 1. Human Skeleton - Chapter 2. Human Skull - Chapter 3. Human Spine - Chapter 4. Human Rib cage - Chapter 5. Human Shoulder Bones - Chapter 6. Human Arm & Forearm Bones - Chapter 7. Human Hand & Wrist - Chapter 8. Human Pelvis - Chapter 9. Human Leg & Lower leg Bones - Chapter 10.
