Description
Surface Anatomy: The Anatomical Basis of Clinical Examination by John S. P. Lumley provides a detailed understanding of the visible and palpable anatomy that forms the basis of clinical examination. The book begins by explaining the anatomical terms needed for precise description of the body's parts and movements from specific positions. The remaining chapters are organised by region, with colour photographs demonstrating visible anatomy. Many of these photographs feature numbered overlays, highlighting structures that can be seen, felt, moved, or listened to. The accompanying text explains the anatomical features of the illustrated structures, including surface markings and common sites for medical procedures. This comprehensive guide is ideal for healthcare professionals and students seeking to improve their understanding of human anatomy.
