But the CD ROM comes into its own here: seven regions in detail where one can scroll through the images from superficial to deep layers (including the detailed courses of arteries, veins, and nerves), rotate the images to view at all angles, enlarge them, add and remove muscle layers off the models, and rotate limbs around to follow dermatomal distributions on surface anatomy. In areas of very complex anatomy especially, such as the axilla/brachial plexus region, more text would have helped the reader to understand the anatomical relations of structures to each other. So for those looking purely for a musculoskeletal anatomy text, this would not be the most appropriate a lot of pages-for example, those covering abdominal viscera-might never be perused.īony anatomy is, however, well covered, including muscle attachments, although illustrated drawings without descriptive text has its drawbacks in many cases, one has to look at more than one page to follow a whole muscle group from origin to insertion. For students of medicine and other undergraduate areas, this is a whole atlas of human anatomy, not just limited to the musculoskeletal system.
