The Illustrated Guide to Functional Anatomy of the Musculoskeletal System, a new text from the American Medical Association, is designed to familiarize you quickly with musculoskeletal function and will help you: understand and evaluate normal functional anatomy; ascertain how deviation from normal function causes impairment; and quickly determine how the body works through an abundant number of illustrations (nearly twice the number of illustrations than similar resources). The text also uses colored line drawings to thoughtfully show function with clear, concise text from an expert educator and provides balanced, thorough coverage of the entire body with relevant information on the head and neck, thorax, abdomen, and pelvis. Logically integrating regional and systemic coverage of anatomy, this new resource offers a complete overview of the subject. The illustrations were developed with you in mind to quickly elicit meaningful diagnostic studies and appropriate therapeutic approaches. The text is well suited for independent study as well as for use in conjunction with structured courses.

Instant Anatomy presents anatomy and anatomical relationships in a simple, unique, schematic manner to aid the speedy understanding and retrieval of anatomical facts. It shows structures such as nerves and blood vessels in their entirety, unlike the partial, regional presentations given in most textbooks. Covering the major aspects of anatomy, each section presents the relevant structures in double page spreads, with clear, full-colour diagrams on the left and concise text for each structure on the right. This new fifth edition includes more surface anatomy such as new myotome maps, bones of the hands and feet, principles of movement at shoulder and hip and images to clarify the understanding of the inguinal region and the lesser sac of the stomach. Ideal for use alongside a core anatomy textbook, Instant Anatomy is the perfect quick reference guide for medical students, surgeons, radiologists and those in many other specialties. The companion website at www.instantanatomy.net with its podcasts and wide ranging multiple choice questions provide invaluable exam preparation.
